Hmmm ... in 7.4 16408 is pg_statistic, which fortunately for you is all
easily-regenerated data.  I'd try "DELETE FROM pg_statistic".
If that doesn't complain, the normal process would be to VACUUM pg_statistic 
and then re-ANALYZE the database, but since you're just trying to dump
data you might be able to skip that bit.

Good, because that wasn't a very bright move --- I can't imagine that
the shutdown checkpoint would have worked, and pg_resetxlog after an
unclean shutdown is a recipe for losing data.
