The last query shown is SELECT classid, objid, refclassid, refobjid, deptype FROM pg_depend WHERE deptype != 'p' ORDER BY 1,2 so apparently something is fishy about the dependency data. Can you execute this query by hand and get results? It could be that pg_depend is corrupted in a way that locks up the backend trying to read it, or it could be that pg_dump is getting confused and going into a loop trying to process the data. I can't tell from this description. regards, tom lane
