You need to supply more information if you expect to get help:

OS (my guess is that you are your 9X/Me)
Cygwin version

However, my WAG is that you are using Cygwin 1.1.8-1 and the following
is your problem:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-01/msg01689.html

If so, then either upgrade to 1.1.8-2 or follow the procedure above to
reduce your Cygwin heap.

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

Thanks,
Jason
