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.

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?
