How large is the total database? The earliest versions of pg on Windows had bugs in pg_dump for files larger than 2GB. I don't recall exactly when they were fixed, but this was a long time ago.. Through if my memory is correct the actual bugs were in pg_dump itself, so using a new pg_dump against the old server should be safe.
yeah, following my direction, he's running pg_dump on the new 9.5 server. the old 8.0 database is on a different PC, an old XP system.
