OK, here's the output from pg_dump while it's running

So how am I supposed to figure out which table and which row broke? Keep
in mind, I'm doing this:
pg_dump -h otherserver dbname|psql -h desthost dbname
but I get basically the same thing if I dump it to a .sql file and do:
psql dbname <dbname.sql
