This hack doesn't work any more --- not that it was ever considered
supported or recommended.  If you really need such a thing, I'd
suggest writing a plperlu or pltclu or plpythonu (according to taste)
wrapper around system().  But do you really need it, or is this just
cruft left over in your database from some playing around?  If the
latter, just ignore this error.

This one looks like it might be an encoding issue.  What database
encoding did you have in the old server, and did you reproduce it
in the new one?

[ ... counts characters ... ]  although frankly that looks like it'd be
more than 12 characters by *anyone's* accounting.  Peculiar.  Maybe the
dump file got mangled while being copied over?
