This is almost certainly the bug fixed in 8.2.4 and listed in the
release notes as:
"Allow pg_dump to do binary backups larger than two gigabytes on Windows

If it happens to be that your dump could approach the 2Gb limit, I
suggest you upgrade to 8.2.9 and see if it goes away.
As this is entirely a client bug, there would be nothing in the logs.

I'm embarrassed to say it is 8.2.3 :( I'm not sure why they haven't
upgraded our production servers to the latest 8.2 yet. It's running on
Windows Server 2003, and it looks like there is plenty of disk space.
I googled this and found someone reported defect 2461 for this, some
time ago, but I'm not clear how to check the status of that bug. I
subscribed to pgsql-bugs so I can ask there as well.

I also checked the logs from yesterday and I don't see anything that was
logged while the pg_dump was running.

Our IT administrator ran a pg_dump and received the following error:

What platform, and exactly what version of pg_dump? Is it possible
you ran out of disk space partway through?
