It's going to be painful.  In general, there is no
backwards-migration path.  This is, in my view, rather a significant
weakness during upgrades; that said, I've never actually had an
iupgrade fail completely.

What you probably need to do is figure out how to edit the dumpfile
from 7.2.4 using sed, such that it can be made happy in 7.1.  I was
forced to do something similar one time.  It's fun like root canal,
but it's possible.

I am curious, though, what the reason for going backwards --
especially to 7.1.2 instead of 7.1.3 -- is.
