The buildfarm logs say otherwise. This was first seen in Jan 10, at 
least on my Windows animals:
   pgbfprod=# select sysname, min(snapshot) from build_status_log where   sysname ~ 'bat' and log_stage ~ 'initdb' and
log_text~ 'pgstat'   group by sysname;    sysname  |         min           ----------+---------------------    dawn_bat
|2010-01-10 17:30:02    red_bat  | 2010-01-10 23:30:01   (2 rows)
