     Type:  defect   |      Status:  new          
 Priority:  medium   |   Milestone:  PostGIS 2.0.1
Component:  postgis  |     Version:  2.0.x

---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 pgsql2shp gives "Invalid endian flag value encountered." error on
 PostgreSQL 9.2 due to its expecting bytea_output to be in 'escape' format.
 At some point PostgreSQL changed the default bytea output format from
 'escape' to 'hex'.

 Attached patch sets server bytea_output to 'escape' while connecting,
 fixing the problem.

 $ pgsql2shp ...
 Initializing...
 Done (postgis major version: 2).
 Output shape: Polygon
 Dumping: XInvalid endian flag value encountered.
