that version has been out of date for YEARS now.  the last release in
the 8.1 family, 8.1.23, was in 2010.  8.1 was released in 2005.

The oldest version still supported is 8.4, and 9.2 is the latest.

that said, how big is template1?  has someone accidentally put a bunch
of data into it?

      select pg_database_size('template1');

will give the size (I think that worked in 8.1)
