Unfortunately I don't get to dictate Red Hat's backwards-compatibility
policies :-( ... and their policy for AS 2.1 is that it's gonna be
Postgres 7.1 till it dies. This means that anything that's
fundamentally unfixable without an initdb is going to remain broken.

RHEL3 uses the PG 7.3 release series, which is a little behind the times
but far less likely to eat your data than 7.1.
