I don't have any table called pg_locks in pg_catalog.
We let running pg_dump 8.2.5 at 1:30 AM after an automatic reboot of the 
PostgreSQL service and it didn't finish. When I came to the office at 9:00 
there were a lot of locks, but all of them were from the pg_dump conection.

Thanks

If pg_dump is locked out, there should be entries in
pg_catalog.pg_locks. Check when the dump hangs!

Does the dump file keep growing or not?
