It could be, or it could be that the postgres port on 8.3 is broken :).
I don't know which version we installed for wiki, but in order to get
mediawiki running for postgresqldocs, I had to use HEAD of mediawiki.
However I note that Greg submitted his 8.3 compatibility before the
latest release of mediawiki which is 1.12.0.

In theory, we should be fine in that regard.
