Try getting the latest snapshot of cygwin. It worked for me.

Hello :)
I have installed cygwin under a wxp machine and everything went good
until the time I had to start postmaster (postmaster -D
/usr/local/pgsql/data/). After that, I got a Segmentation Fault (Core
Dumped) message.
I have searched the internet for solutions regarding this problem and
looks like you have gone little far in it (I have seen even wonderings
on semaphores). I would like to know if you have a solution so I can
bring the server up.
Thank you very much!
