Enrico,
In the future, please post to pgsql-cygwin@postgresql.org or
cygwin@cygwin.com (as appropriate) instead of sending private email.

I have seen many reports of the "The descriptor is a file, not a socket"

had this problem so I can't help you debug this. Maybe someone else on
the list can help.
