This looks very much like the backend crashed as a result of the COPY.
Can you share which version of PostreSQL you're getting this with? If
not the latest minor version for the release, does it still happen on
the latest?

It would also be good if you could see if you could recreate the crash
with using:

COPY (SELECT * FROM public.aclappliedtopep) TO stdout;

then if you can, try to narrow down if it's crashing because of some
record by either adding a WHERE clause to the SELECT, or perhaps a
LIMIT.  If for example, you can get it to crash with LIMIT 1, can you
send us the psql output of \d public.aclappliedtopep and also some
anonymised version of the row it crashes on? (ensuring it still
crashes once anonymised). You may be able to narrow it down by "binary
searching" through various LIMIT / OFFSET combinations.

That's not a message you'd get from a crash.  I'd counsel looking into
the server log for more information about why the postmaster is forcing
session termination.

But yeah, it would be good to know what PG version this is.

I'm trying to figure out the above:

Is this the actual error message or a translated/edited one?

What is the name of the database you are taking the dump from?

Is the *.dump file your output file or is it something being used in the 
database?

What is the pg_dump command you are issuing?
