Not really since it saves only the first 32 bits of the 64 bit positions it
will do no worse than a version that supports 32 bits only. It might even
do slightly better. When this is sorted out, we need to verify that:
- large dump files are restorable
- dump files with 32 bit off_t restore properly on systems with 64 biy off_t
- dump files with 64 bit off_t restore properly on systems with 32 bit off_tAS
LONG AS the offsets are less than 32 bits.
- old dump files restore properly.
- new dump files have a new version number so that old pg_restore will not
try to restore them.
We probably need to add Read/WriteOffset to pg_backup_archiver.c to read
the appropriate sized value from a dump file, in the same way that
Read/WriteInt works now.
