This took me hours to find  ...

On my Windows box, CVS HEAD gets an execution failure on "initdb foo" 
but succeeds happily with "initdb -D foo".

This is not true for REL8_1_STABLE, nor is it true for all Windows 
machines/environments, apparently, otherwise we would be seeing failures 
from the buildfarm member snake, since the buildfarm script does "initdb 
data".

My suspicion is that this is some side effect of the restricted-exec 
patch, but I don't have time to dig further right now.

cheers

andrew
