Problem in start up postgres in Cygwin

Hi All,

I have just installed the latest Cygwin, which has already included
postgresql installed (version 8.0.4-1), but have problem to start the
postgresql server: I got a "bad system call" on postgre.exe when
initializing the database using initdb.

I have tried this on two WinXP boxes, one XP pro and one Home, the
results is the same.

Can any one help? Thank you in advance.
