Hmm...

Also, where did the SEGVs go?

Looks OK, except that I expected to see "Thought1" above.

I'm sorry, but I think that you are having a problem due to XP Home or
some other misconfiguration.  You will have to debug further yourself.

I would start in src/backend/utils/init/postinit.c:

    /*
     * Find oid and path of the database we're about to open. Since
     * we're not yet up and running we have to use the hackish
     * GetRawDatabaseInfo.
     */
**> GetRawDatabaseInfo(dbname, &MyDatabaseId, datpath);

    if (!OidIsValid(MyDatabaseId))
        elog(FATAL,
             "Database \"%s\" does not exist in the system catalog.",
             dbname);

and figure out why GetRawDatabaseInfo() fails and/or returns a bogus
MyDatabaseId value.
