A couple of points.
1: This problem may be fixed in the latest 7.3.18 version. An upgrade
from 7.3.x to 7.3.18 is pretty close to painless. Shut down pgsql,
update package, startup pgsql. Backup beforehand is a nice option, but
you should have backups already anyway...
2: Do not upgrade to 8.1.0. It's been updated many times since then.
I think the latest 8.1.x is 8.1.8 or so. Get that.
3: Keep your versions updated and you should avoid most situations like
this in the future.
