I got something kind-of similar with a core dump... This was 'cos of a
column name which is now a reserved word.

How about starting up your old pgsql, then psql, the 'alter table rename
column.....'

will try that out, thanks...

I assume normal users do the pg_dump, delete their databases and old
binaries, then try to reload into 6.3.

Well, this doesn't solve the general problem, but "password" can be used as a
column name without inducing shift/reduce conflicts. I'll patch the source
tree sometime soon; in the meantime add the obvious source around line 4618
in gram.y:

  | PASSWORD { $$ = "password"; }

(add tabs to taste :)
