Well, the error is perfectly legitimate, because there is no such function
in that file, nor anywhere else in Postgres 8.4. It did exist back in
8.0 or so, which makes me think initdb is reading some ancient copy of
conversion_create.sql. You need to straighten out the apparent mixup
of files from different releases.
