Is the new account name shorter than your username?  I had a problem with
1.1 doing this, but 1.2 just doesn't start up (or dumps core immediately) now.
There appears to be a bug in AGEN where if things are bigger than it expects,
it gets extremely confused.

Possible solutions:

(1) if you're using a schema name, get rid of it and change your default
    schema.

(2) use shorter form names

(3) try making the termcap and/or unicap entries shorter

Basically, anything that reduces the amount of space AGEN needs.  I've used
all three with varying amounts of success (under 1.1.1.y.z, y.z = 4.3, 4.6,
and 5.6).
