You've got an out-of-date .so file in there somewhere. If there are no
user-defined C functions in your database, the likely culprit is
plpgsql.so or pltcl.so or plperl.so, whichever one of those PL languages
you use. A fairly likely bet is that the .so file is being referenced
by an absolute path that points at the old version's library directory.
Check the pg_proc.probin entry for plpgsql_call_handler, etc. If you
need to change it, make it read something like "$libdir/plpgsql" so that
you don't get burnt again next time.
