Got the same problem here. Windows version is 2000 Professional, Service
Pack 2, Cygwin version is pretty recent (can't check it now, the box is
at home), so is Cygipc - both were downloaded within the past 3 weeks. The
machine is reasonably new and fast - Athlon 1200, 256 MB RAM, so that
shouldn't be an issue. Postgres version is 7.1.3.
