The bug might come from the following bug by Microsoft:
http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/595553/stat-function-returns-error-for-directory-symbolic-links
Note that initdb in 8.4 worked expectedly because it is built with MSVC 2005,
but initdb in 9.0 won't work because built with MSVC 2008 :-( .
