INITDB hanging on Win2000/CygWin (PGSQL 7.2.1). - Mailing list pgsql-bugs

Trying to install Postgres version 7.2.1 on Windows2000, using the latest
   Cygwin package, just downloaded. Default packages were installed, in addition
   to the ones mentioned in 'install.hint' file. When running 'initdb' it hangs
   after a few moments.

   Output (with --debug option):

Running with debug mode on.
