STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION (windows 2000, Postgres 7.3.4, cygwin 1.5.5-1)

Hi
 
I have been using cygwin and postgres 7.1.3 for some time and I have just upgraded to cygwin 1.5.5-1 and postgres7.3.4 and its all gone pear shaped.
 
It seems that 'ipc-deamon' no longer exists and I have to use 'ipc-deamon2' prior to starting the postmaster. I managed to start the postmaster and initialise the directory using 'initbd -D /usr/local/pgsql/data' unfortunatly when I try to create the database I get:-
 
$createdb <dbname>
psql: server closed the connection unexpectedly
    this probably means the server terminated abnormally before or while processing the request.
createdb: database creation failed
 
The Debug line from the postmaster is: segmentation fault <core dumped>
 
The postmaster.exe.stackdump :-

I have tried the documentation and I've reinistalled cygwin as well as all of the packages from scratch still no joy. Anybody any ideas?
