Which version of Cygwin and PostgreSQL do you use?
This is an indication, that there is no access to
shared memory. Either cygipc is not running, or
the database uses already the cygserver instead of
cypipc and the cygserver is not running and the
environment variable CYGWIN does not contain the
value 'server'. Cygserver is included in the cygwin-
package, that means is installed by default.

If you installed the PostgreSQL package from
Cygwin, you have to use the cygserver, and not cygipc.

If you compiled PostgreSQL yourself and cygipc was installed
cygipc is used by the database. But it is better to deinstall
cygipc before compiling, so cygserver will be used. You
need at least PostgreSQL 7.4.x for that.
