Newer versions of pg_dump are usually able to dump data from older PG
versions, so in theory you ought to be able to suck your data from the
old DB and load it into a newer one. I dunno about 7.1 -> 8.3, though -
that's quite a gulf!

If that doesn't work, maybe you could try 7.4.23 which is still
supported and available from the website.
