You need to use 9 (or at least something newer than 8.1)

Honestly, I am not sure, as I've not tested going back to 8.1. 
I think one thing that may trip it up is the COPY (SELECT ...) 
TO STDOUT bit, which is not supported in 8.1 and is used by B5. 
It may be possible to work around that, however, with some minor 
code changes.
