Hi,
I am having an issue upgrading a really old 8.2 db up to 9.2.2. One of the
tables contains a bytea field.  When I backup&  restore using pgadmin from
my 9.2.2 install, it doesn't convert this field correctly.

Could this be due to your bytea_output setting?

Not sure how this could snag you if you are dumping using 9.2, but this:

I see it starts w/special character when selecting it from the old database;
in the new db, I see a string starting w/"\211PNG".

is clearly in "escape" rather than "hex" format.
