initdb crashing, signal 5, etc - Mailing list pgsql-hackers-win32

Had success with a snapshot from last week. Today's snapshot crashes
several times during initdb. As soon as "selecting default
max_connections" appears, postgres.exe crashes ("postgres.exe has
encountered a problem and needs to close."). After closing 6 of those
"10" appears and it continues to "selecting default shared_buffers".
11 crashes then "50" appears. It continues to the "No such file or
directory" error and postgres.exe crashes once, then the signal 5
message appears. Full initdb output is below.

Observations: During the crashes, postgresql.conf is created, but
remains 0 bytes. Cacls reports my "postgres" user has full access to
the entire c:\dev\pgsql tree, including the data dir, postgresql.conf
(after it has been created), and c:\dev\pgsql\share\timezone, which
certainly exists (note: NOT "/shared/timezone" necessarily), etc.
