Hm... the case works for me:

$ psql ...
Welcome to psql 8.1.18 (server 7.4.26), the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.

Type:  \copyright for distribution terms
       \h for help with SQL commands
       \? for help with psql commands
       \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
       \q to quit

WARNING:  You are connected to a server with major version 7.4,
but your psql client is major version 8.1.  Some backslash commands,
such as \d, might not work properly.

regression=# 

One thing to check is whether you have a ~/.psqlrc containing commands
that wouldn't work against the older server.  Failing that, I'm going
to bet that this is a firewall issue of some sort.

                        regards, tom lane
