Are you using 9x/Me?  I have see other posts reporting similar error
messages on these platforms.  BTW, what version of Cygwin are you using?
If you are not using 1.3.3, then please upgrade.

Essentially all of my Cygwin PostgreSQL experience is on NT 4.0 and 2000.
IMO, Cygwin PostgreSQL works quite well on these platforms.  In fact,
Terry Carlin from the now defunct GreatBridge, reported very decent
performance results.  See the following for details:

However, YMMV especially under 9x/Me.
