This problem has been corrected in the latest Cygwin CVS.  If
interested, see the following for details:

    http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-patches/2001-q1/msg00257.html

The suggested Cygwin setups are as following:

    1. use Cygwin 1.1.8-2 with only cygwin1.dll replace by one from
       a snapshot
    2. use a Cygwin snapshot *after* 2001-03-25 (when available)
    3. use (i.e., install) the latest Cygwin CVS

I forgot to mention in my previous email, that this problem causes
initdb to fail to first time that it executes postgres.  This occurs
right after initdb displays:

    Initializing pg_shadow.

Obviously, this will happen during a make check too.
