Cygwin 1.3.6-6 seems to be working ok for me (bar one or two occurences with
the pg7v2 beta3. Not been able to reproduce however so am not sure what that
was).
If your wanting to use the postgresql 7.2beta3 on cygwin under 9x below is a
patch for postmaster.c

Has anybody found the fix for the
PORT vs FILE error with PostgreSQL

IPC running, Postmaster starts OK
