Please try to debug the above. gdb would be best, but at least use
strace:
$ strace -o psql.log psql ...
and send the output to cygwin@cygwin.com.
Since I do not have access to 9x/Me, I cannot debug this problem myself.
BTW, I believe this to be a generic socket problem under Cygwin on 9x/Me
which really has nothing specifically to do with PostgreSQL. You can
try to search through the Cygwin archives to see if you can come up with
a resolution. I tried a while ago but came up only with questions and
unfortunately, no answers. :,(
Just another WAG, but is your 98 the original version or SE? Maybe your
MS Winsock stuff needs to be upgraded?
