pg_dump not working

From

Howdy,

I've come back from a two week holiday to find that pg_dump isn't working.
I'm running Postgresql 7.0.2 on FreeBSD 2.2.8.
I've stopped the postmaster, backed up the database directory using tar for
safety, and performed a successful vacuum analyze.
The error I'm getting is:

PQgetvalue: ERROR! tuple number 0 is out of range 0..-1
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Any ideas?

To track this down, it might help to see the command you are using and the
output using the '-v' option on pg_dump.

Howdy,

Doesn't matter - I did a COPY TO on all the tables, dropped and recreated
the database from my initial SQL scripts, and did a COPY FROM to restore the
data. I'm finding a heap of duplicate key errors on my unique indexes and
referential integrity violation on foreign keyed columns. Anyone know of a
quick way to get the index definitions for all tables, drop and recreate
them?

Thanks in advance for any help.
