apparently this is the fix:
psql -d mydb -c "select * from title;" > before
# Save for after cmp test...
cd /usr/local/pgsql # my install root...
vacuumdb mydb # clean up before moving...
cp -pr data data.backup # make a backup...
pg_dumpall -s > schema.sql # dump schema w/out data...
killall postmaster # stop the server...
sleep 3
mv data data.old # set it aside...
cd /usr/src/pgsql/src # to the src tree...
gmake install # reinstall binaries...
cd /usr/local/pgsql # back to my install root...
initdb # recreate template1, sys
stuff...
postmaster -i -o "-F -S 4096 -s" >& log & # restart server...
sleep 3
pg_upgrade -f schema.sql data >& upgrade.log # reload schema...
cp -p data.old/base/mydb/* data/base/mydb/ # replace data...
psql -d mydb -c "select * from title;" > after
# verify we still have data...
diff before after # quick sanity check...
will let you know if it works ...
