The above problem is due to Cygwin 1.1.8, see the following for more
information:

    http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-02/msg00030.html
    http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-02/msg00098.html

You can "fix" the problem by temporarily downgrading to Cygwin 1.1.7.

Please do me a favor and forward this to pgsql-ports@postgresql.org, if
you don't see my response there too.  I have been having problem posting
recently.  When it rains it pours...

Thanks,
Jason
