When I run from gdb, FATAL error occurs when "run", when I run from command
line, the same error occurs, but not until I access with psql or other...

This entry in /etc/passwd file was already there:

Owner:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1003:513:U-YOUR-W92P4BHLZG\Owner,S-1-5-21-6707922
05-1163395192-3403473811-1003:/home/Owner:/bin/bash

Does the above occur when invoked from the command line?

Does your /etc/passwd have an entry for "Owner"?  If so, then please
post it.  If not, then try the following:

    $ mkpasswd -l -u Owner >>/etc/passwd

Note:

1. If Owner is a domain account, then use mkpasswd -d
2. If Owner corresponds to a Windows user with a different name, then
use the Windows user name instead above.

Maybe.  Note that I do *not* have access to XP so I cannot debug this
myself.

The default bash prompt is user@machine.  If "Thought1" is your machine
name, then the above is OK.

No problem.  Sorry, for the slow response time, but weekends are tough
for me to get near my computer. :,(
