Short Description
Can't initialize a database cluster in Cygwin/PostgreSQL 7.3.2

Long Description
Hi,

When I try to initialize a new database cluster in Cygwin / PostgreSQL 7.3.2, I just get the error listed here under.

Sample Code
$ initdb -D /cygdrive/d/data/pg -d
Running with debug mode on.

initdb variables:
  PGDATA=/cygdrive/d/data/pg
  datadir=/usr/share/postgresql
  PGPATH=/usr/bin
  ENCODING=
  ENCODINGID=0
  POSTGRES_SUPERUSERNAME=Steph
  POSTGRES_BKI=/usr/share/postgresql/postgres.bki
  POSTGRES_DESCR=/usr/share/postgresql/postgres.description
  POSTGRESQL_CONF_SAMPLE=/usr/share/postgresql/postgresql.conf.sample
  PG_HBA_SAMPLE=/usr/share/postgresql/pg_hba.conf.sample
  PG_IDENT_SAMPLE=/usr/share/postgresql/pg_ident.conf.sample
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "Steph".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.
