I'm using cygwin on WinXP and upgrading from 8.1 to 8.2.4.
Under 8.1, I ran a full backup and stored that as GZIP file.
Under 8.2, I tried to restore using the command:
gunzip -c backup81.gz | pg_restore -v -O -d mydb
This returned an error: pg_restore: [archiver] did not find magic

Out of cu
Yes it does the same thing:
$ gunzip < mydb.dump.20070819.gz | pg_restore -v -O -d mydb
pg_restore: [archiver] did not find magic string in file header
Most odd since it seems to work just fine if gunzip first and then use:
pg_restore -v -O -d mydb < mydb.dump.20070819
