I don't beleve there should be a difference in the dump format between 
those two versions.

I am confused.  Can anything at all be loaded from a dump file?  Earlier 
it sounded like trying to load the full database did load a few principals 
before hanging, but now it sounds like attempting to load any single 
principal is hanging.
If any attempt at all to load anything on the slave is failing, that is 
probably some form of corruption on the slave.  It might be useful to be 
able to analyze that corrupt state, so I would recommend bringing up a new 
machine from scratch to serve as the slave in that location, while leaving 
the old machine around for analysis.
