------------------------------------------------
There appears to be a problem with pg_dumpall.
I maintaain a DB of around 6-7 tables, being a finance and contacts
system.
If I use pg_dumpall, two of the tables are restored without any data.
These are linked together.

Even more curious the data is dumped into the dump file.

If I use pg_dump there is no problem.
