Umm, I think the protocol version is up to 3 or 4 now. I think libpq
supports all the way back to 7.0, I don't know if anyone tests earlier
than that.

If you really need this to work, I suggest pulling the libpq from that
release (CVS or tarball) or slightly later and installing that on the
new machines.

But you should upgrade, 6.4 hasn't had support for year, who know how
many bugs...
