Check the revision history of catversion.h to see if the catalog
version changed between 8.0.0rc5 and 8.0.3:

http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql/src/include/catalog/catversion.h

See also the 8.0.3 Release Notes, which mention that a dump/initdb/restore
will fix some security problems; otherwise you'll have to follow a manual
repair procedure:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/release.html#RELEASE-8-0-3

Making a backup before doing an upgrade would be prudent in any case.
