Bug reference:      1337

PostgreSQL version: 8.0 Beta

Operating system:   Windows 2000

Description:        Problem running PostgreSQL as service, incl. fix

Details:

In 8.0 RC1, because of bug in -D parsing in pg_ctl I am unable to run
postgres as service when I have space in data path - when i register it with
pg_ctl register -D "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\data" and try to run it then
it won't work and in event log I have this: pg_ctl: no database directory
specified and environment variable PGDATA unset.


I have found very simple solution, just added + 1 in one of xmallocs and it
seems to work, diff follows:

                         char       *env_var = xmalloc(strlen(optarg) + 8);

                         strcpy(pgdata_D, optarg);
