If this helps, attached is a log of my initdb:

I thought the naming in /etc/passwd was strange too, so I re-added myself.
The line looked the same, except for the underlined part, which was now
THOUGHT1. It still did no good.
Here's what's happening when postmaster runs:
- ...basic initialization...
- InitPostgres( "Owner", "Owner" )
- SetDatabaseName( "Owner" )
- GetRawDatabaseInfo is called to locate database "Owner" 's OID
- It fails, because it only finds "template1" and "template0"
databases respectively
- InitPostgres raises FATAL error and exits

Hmm...
Also, where did the SEGVs go?

Looks OK, except that I expected to see "Thought1" above.
I'm sorry, but I think that you are having a problem due to XP Home or
some other misconfiguration. You will have to debug further yourself.
I would start in src/backend/utils/init/postinit.c:
/*
* Find oid and path of the database we're about to open. Since
* we're not yet up and running we have to use the hackish
* GetRawDatabaseInfo.
*/
**> GetRawDatabaseInfo(dbname, &MyDatabaseId, datpath);
if (!OidIsValid(MyDatabaseId))
elog(FATAL,
"Database \"%s\" does not exist in the system catalog.",
dbname);
and figure out why GetRawDatabaseInfo() fails and/or returns a bogus
MyDatabaseId value.

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)

TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
