I didn't know of the above -- thanks for the edification. Although, I'm
surprised that this adversely affects psql.

Does your postmaster accept TCP/IP connections (i.e., runs with the "-i"
option)? If so, can the second user connect via?

$ psql -h localhost

I will repeat my plea for help:

Note that I have no access to XP Home or Pro. So, I cannot update
my README until those with access provide the needed information.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jason
