Did you build a Cygwin PostgreSQL 7.2.2 yourself?  Or, do you really
mean 7.2.1-2?

BTW, I just uploaded Cygwin PostgreSQL 7.2.2-1 to the Cygwin site.  If
you built your own version, then please try this one.  Does it fail in
the same way?

Sorry, but I cannot reproduce the above problem under Windows 2000.
Since I do not have access to XP, you will have to debug this yourself.

Does ipc-daemon really terminate all by itself?

I'm glad that the official Cygwin PostgreSQL package works for you.

Please try to use the official package unless it is not configured to
meet your needs.

Thanks,
