Upgrading to 7.3.12 should be a simple make; make install; stop and 
restart server. To perform a smooth update, you could consider using 
Slony-I to have an up-to-date replication. This would allow you to 
switch over virtually seamlessly (if your current machine is big enough, 
I doubt it when looking at your pgsql version, could be even on the same 
box).

Yeah, to be sure that *you* get the answer, and all people interested 
(and for archive's sake) see it too.
