That's great, thank you. There is still a problem though. Postgres
builds and installs fine, but now when I try to run initdb I get a whole
lot of signal 12 messages:

$ initdb -D /usr/postgres/data
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "davidm".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.

Your help is very much appreciated, thanks
