Hmm ... gdb is evidently lying to us to some extent, because some of
those variables can't possibly be NULL, and control wouldn't have got
to where it says if others of them were. However, it seems clear that
it's dying while trying to determine the actual location of the initdb
executable. Are there any symlinks involved in the path
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb ? Is that located on an unusual filesystem?
