Yes, that's what my hosting provider (hub.org, which also hosts
postgresql.org) seems to have done. This also avoids another minor
problem: initdb on UNIX appears to create a 'postgres' database
regardless of who runs the procedure (aside from template0 and
template1; I don't have a 'postgres' database on Windows and since it's
been a year I don't recall what the Windows initdb did). So when the
'pgsql' user invokes psql without specifying a database, there's no
'pgsql' database to be found.
