The above is a known problem that has already been fixed. See the
following for details:

http://www.postgresql.org/mhonarc/pgsql-ports/2001-02/msg00012.html
http://www.postgresql.org/mhonarc/pgsql-ports/2001-02/msg00014.html

A third alternative to solve this problem is to use Cygwin 1.1.8-2 with
cygwin1.dll replaced by one from a recent Cygwin snapshot. In retrospect,
this is probably the best solution until Cygwin 1.3.0 is released.

In the future, please post to pgsql-ports(at)postgresql(dot)org instead of
using direct email so others can benefit too.

Thanks,
Jason
