Not if they're written according to spec, I think. There is an EOF
marker consisting of 2 blocks of zeroes (which pg_dump is failing to
create correctly, but that's a bug not a feature). Possibly you could
strip the EOF marker though, if the file join code is allowed to be
something smarter than "cat".
