This looks like an installation problem; I don't see that on my machine.

The eventlog will receive an eventID (postgresql uses only 0), which is 
an index into a message table provided by the service (it's a binary 
resource). If that message is not present, or if the message provider 
isn't registered for the server, the text mentioned is displayed.
For pgsql, this message is just "%s", to use it generically.

To check if the dll is registered correctly:

You should have

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\Application\PostgreSQL] 
"EventMessageFile"="C:\\Program Files\\ PostgreSQL\\7.5\\lib\\pgevent.dll"

or another valid pgevent.dll path. Adding this might need a machine 
restart (yes, it's win...)

I noticed a trailing '.' on a single line in every eventlog entry, the 
attached patch will remove this.
