Hi:

I'd like to submit this problem with installing PostgreSQL on Windows XP
Professional, Cygwin 1.5.7-1.

The error (during initdb), after running  'make MAX_CONNECTIONS=5 check' is:

 semctl(35, 16, SETVAL, 536) failed: Invalid argument

The complete initdb.log is pasted below the end of this e-mail.

Thank You,
Greg B. Hill
