It was unclear from your email how you are creating the dump. Did you
create the dump with the 8.1 or the 8.4 version of pg_dump? When
upgrading, the docs recommend using the newer version of the dump
utility: "It is recommended that you use the pg_dump and pg_dumpall
programs from the newer version of PostgreSQL, to take advantage of any
enhancements that might have been made in these programs. Current
releases of the dump programs can read data from any server version back
to 7.0."
How many cores are available on the new server?
