My question is why is this limit (16GB) there, when my OS does not have
that limit? Is it possible to take it away in a easy way? It looks like
pg_dump is compiled with large-file support because it can work with
files bigger than 4GB.

More ideas? :)

Things to try:

a) shell redirection:
$ pg_dump ... > outfile

b) some pipes:
$ pg_dump ... | cat > outfile
$ pg_dump ... | dd of=outfile

a) may fail if there's something with pg_dump and large files.
b) is different in that it's the right side of the pipe that outputs
to the filesystem.
