We have a cluster running 9.1.1 where pg_dump hangs when we try to dump some a database inside of the cluster. The server is running AIX.

I can see this on clean cluster where we do an initdb, followed by a createdb and try running pg_dump.

I've tracked the issue down to collectSecLabels in pg_dump.c

SELECT label, provider, classoid, objoid, objsbid FROM pg_catalog.pg_seclabel;

returns 0 rows.

The code in collectSecLabels() is not prepared to deal with a zero row result and tries to malloc 0 bytes.

I am not yet sure if the problem is that my pg_seclabel is empty or if the issue is in collectSecLabels() or if collectSecLabels shouldn't even be called.

Has anyone seen something similar?
