initdb problems
I am trying to use postgres with the CYGWIN binaries for WIN/2000. I started initdb with '--debug' and it got as far as
postgres -boot -x! -C -F -DDatabase -d template1
and then just sat there with 'postgres' consuming CPU, but not appearing to do anything.
Has something similar been reported before.
All CYGWIN users, make sure that cygipc is on your machine and running
before doing anything with Postgres.

This is reportedly what happens if you haven't installed/started
"cygipc" first. Please see our installation instructions for Windows.
