The permissions of postgres.exe is correct in the tarball:

$ tar -tvjf postgresql-7.3.4-1.tar.bz2 usr/bin/postgres.exe
-rwxr-xr-x jt/Domain Users 1985024 2003-08-01 16:02:43 usr/bin/postgres.exe

AFAICT, the above problem is due to a bug in Cygwin's setup.exe. Please
report the problem to the Cygwin list.

Thanks,
Jason
