invalid input syntax for type bytea

Hi,

i have a databse in postgresql 7.4 with some pdf files in a bytea column.

everything works fine but sometimes when i dump and restore i get

psql:../tmp/dump.sql:704022: ERROR:  invalid input syntax for type bytea
CONTEXT:  COPY dk_dokument, line 127, column dk_content:
"%PDF-1.4\015%\342\343\317\323\015\01220 0 obj\015<< \015/Linearized 1
\015/O 22 \015/H [ 660 209 ] \..."

how can things like this happen? Is it a problem with COPY command?

I guess my input into bytea must be ok otherwise postgresql should report an
error on insert statmenet, shouldn't it?

kind regards,
janning
