Ahhh... you started PostgreSQL from a cygwin window with:
$ pg_ctl start
and then closed the window? It does seem to like keeping the window
open. Have you tried starting it using postmaster instead?
$ postmaster -D /path/to/your/data/directory -i
Not sure that will work, but it's a though.
When PostgreSQL is configured to start as a service, it seems to be much
easier. You can then just start it from the "Services" part of the
Windows control panel (depending which operating system you're using of
course).
