SIGNAL 12 on initDB command

From

Hello,

     I am installing Cygwin in my Windows XP machine to use
PostgreSql.

     I have been having trouble running the initdb command.  Intially
I tried using the ipc-daemon2.  After reading the archieve I found
that I need to use the Cygserver instead of ipc-daemon2.  I followed
the documentation for Cygserver, did all the steps mentioned therein
and tried the initdb command.  Still it fails with a lot of SIGNAL 12
messages as it did while using the ipc-daemon2.  I would appreciate if
I could get some info. on how to fix this problem. The screen print
from my initdb command is shown below:

  $ initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user
"c-chatari.ramesh".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.

Did you add Cygserver to your path?

Are you trying to run these as services?  If so you probably need to
uninstall the postmaster service and reinstall referencing cygserver
instead of ipc-daemon2.

Did you see the postmaster readme in the same directory as the cygserver
readme?  It has the updated installation instructions.
