Sorry, here's the first post, just now included hackers (more info in
previous post)...

The following error occurred when issuing a vanilla initdb command on
my Windows system.

FATAL:  could not select a suitable default timezone
DETAIL:  It appears that your GMT time zone uses leap seconds.
PostgreSQL does not support leap seconds.

I built this from 8.1.8 source (mingw/msys/gcc).  Configure, make and
make install were fine.

I previously ran just fine on version 8.1.5 (which I did not compile)
on the same system, no problems.

Didn't select anything unusual in configure either.

Thanks!
