First make sure you stop the 8.3.3 / 8.3.6 server and then start 8.3.6
server and point the data path to 8.3.3 data path.

/usr/postgres/8.3.3/bin/pg_ctl -D  /usr/postgres/8.3.3/data/pgsql8.3.3 stop

/usr/postgres/8.3.6/bin/postgres -i -D /usr/postgres/8.3.3/data/pgsql8.3.3
>logfile 2>&1 &

Enjoy

Thanks
