Thanks, I have pushed the solution from Laurenz to maintain pure
compatibility.  The origin of the failures reported by pg_dump actually
comes from a mismatch with pg_hba.conf in the way users and/or databases
are parsed.  I am glad that we have tests for the full range of ASCII
characters in TAP so as it is easy to detect regressions at early
stages.  We could try to manipulate more setmode calls like the one in
miscinit.c so as authentication gets the right call.  I am not sure of
other side effects though...
