Unable to dump database/table - Mailing list pgsql-bugs

Hello.

pg_dump cann't dump some databases (at least one table) with the
following error ;

$ pg_dump -b -F c -v -f pgdump_void_2004-10-11T03:04:00 void

I've REINDEX and VACUUM table, but it doesn't help.
Can anybody help with this ?

And a question : is the size, that pg_dump has reported (Failed on
request of size 536870920) is required size of available shared memory ?
If it is, then what ?! I need to have 10GB shared memory to dump table
whith 100'000'000 records ?!
