hello,

i've got the following problem:
OS - Solaris 8/9 on Sun SPARC
PGSQL 7.1.3

when i try to dump the database with pg_dump command i've got the following error:

-- last builtin oid is 18539
-- reading user-defined types
-- reading user-defined functions
-- reading user-defined aggregates
-- reading user-defined operators
-- reading user-defined tables
getTables(): SELECT failed. Explanation from backend: 'pqReadData() -- backend
closed the channel unexpectedly.
This probably means the backend terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.
'.

the same error appears when a try to display the database schema using \d in psql shell e.g.

$ psql -U user db
psql# \d
getTables(): SELECT failed. Explanation from backend: 'pqReadData() -- backend
closed the channel unexpectedly.
This probably means the backend terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.
'.

but when a type:
psql# \d table_name
everything works fine ...

what's wrong ?
pg_dump is really really really important for me ... thanx in advance ...
