Uhm.. 9.3 is in end of life, ubuntu 16.04 refers to three years ago
and is approaching the extends security releases only, that is it
looks a little ancient combination.
I suspect pg_dump will provide you with an hint about which particular
object is causing it to fail, in the case I suggest to backup
everything except such object. At least you will have something backed
up.
Any chance your disk was full and something nasty happened?
