Jason,

How version-specific is PostgreSQL under Cygwin with relation to
CygIPC? I mean, from the above, it seems that a fix in the latter
requires a recompile of the former? Is that accurate? Or is that only
in specific cases like this one with the Fast User Context Switching
(FUCS)? [Acronym unintentional...but kind of amusing when I think about
it. :-) ]

I only ask because I saw the updated CygIPC 1.14-1 this morning and
figured I'd test against it (with the same same PostgreSQL 7.3.2-1
that's been installed). FYI: PostgreSQL 7.3.2-1 behaves no differently
than before--initdb still fails if you use FUCS--but 'ipctest s' DOES
work even when logged in using FUCS, and PostgreSQL itself runs just fine.

I suspect my results answer my own question, but wanted to make sure.
