Description: bug with initdb under an administrator
Details:
If I run the initdb under an administrator, the program crashes without any
error reporting. The last string in the output is
"creating base template1 in E:/usr/local/postgres/data/base/1 ..."
(translated from russian)
The "data" directory remains empty.
Under the limited user account initialization completed successfully.
I think the program should report if it require to run under a limited user
account.
