I'm well aware that PostgreSQL itself is currently at 8.1.0 - however, i'm
upgrading from 8.1beta2, and it seems to me that the backend version was
modified between those two versions - "811" and "812" seem to be backend
version identifiers which are reported when i'm trying to start the 8.1.0
postmaster on the 8.1beta2 cluster:

FATAL:  database files are incompatible with server
DETAIL:  The database cluster was initialized with PG_CONTROL_VERSION 811,
but the server was compiled with PG_CONTROL_VERSION 812.
HINT:  It looks like you need to initdb.
