Bug reference:      1751
Logged by:          Garrett Heaver

PostgreSQL version: 8.0.3
Operating system:   Win2K & WinXP
Description:        pg_restore bug
Details:

Hi.

I'm sure you're probably aware of this issue already but pg_restore doesn't
function correctly on the win32 builds and exists with

pg_restore: [archiver (db)] connection to database "xxxxxx" failed: FATAL:
password authentication failed for user "postgres"

The password is correct and works for all other tools (psql, pg_dump, etc).
When the pg_hba config file is changed to 'trust' everything on the
localhost it executes as intended.

I've done a bit of research on forums and seen a few other users
experiencing the same problem.

Thanks
