The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference: 1670
Logged by: Josh
Email address: josh@globalherald.net
PostgreSQL version: 8.0.2, 8.0.3
Operating system: CentOS 4
Description: pg_dump fails on CentOS 4
Details:

pg_dump, as packaged in postgresql-8.0.3-1PGDG.i686.rpm, fails with no
output whatsoever when run from a terminal window:

[josh@localhost ~]$ pg_dump -U username database > backup.sql
[josh@localhost ~]$

However, when run from within pgadmin3, it runs as it should.

When I download the source to 8.0.3 and compile it from scratch, the freshly
compiled pg_dump works as it should from any source (PGAdmin3, command line)
