You are correct.  I have isolated the problem and I am submitting a
patch to Cygwin to fix it.

In case you are wondering, FindExec() in src/backend/utils/init/findbe.c
is failing due to a change in Cygwin's stat implementation.  Try the
attached program *built* with 1.1.8-2 and then the 2001-03-25 snapshot
to see the difference.

With the snapshot, you will get the following:

    $ vb /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres.exe
    ValidateBinary: "/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres.exe" is not user read/execute
    ValidateBinary() = -1

Thanks for the heads up.

Jason
