As a note, if you do this, you will not be able to assign groups to the new
instance unless you assign them to the old instance.  This limitation is
removed in branches/1.4 and will be fixed in 1.4.1.  If you need to fix in
the meantime you can run this on the copy of the db via psql:

select setting__set('role_prefix', 'lsmb_[old_dbname]__');

Note if you already have a role prefix (not usually the case), this step is
unnecessary and in fact should not be done.  You can test that by:

select * from defaults where setting_key = 'role_prefix';
