Can't you just edit the import to have the newer 8.2.x syntax of

COPY table (field1, field2, field3, field4) FROM stdin;

???

And please tell me you aren't running 8.2.0, but 8.2.4 or now that it
just came out, 8.2.5. Those minor point releases contain a lot of bug
fixes, and you're just asking for trouble by running a .0 release.
