pg_restore expect a dump in the custom format.

Please, read the docu about pg_dump and pg_restore. To restore a plain
text dump use psql instead.

It's waiting for an archive to show up on stdin :-(

-f is the *output* file name for pg_restore.  Also, you're lacking
any switches here specifying a database to connect to.

Ya, I aborted it and am successfully restoring the DB using psql.  It's
sure taking up cycles and disk space now :-)
