Yep, they're all "known good" versions, and what I've been using here.

Out of curiosity, have you asked the guys on the PostgreSQL "cygwin"
mailing list, as this is pretty much exactly their area of speciality?

One important question, with WinNT, are you definitely running it with
Service Pack 6a, and it's definitely stable for other packages?

For most installations with Windows, the cygwin version works ok, but
for you it's obviously not. Am wondering if it's possible you've got
some kind of problem with windows not having been updated enough, or
maybe something is installed that overwrote an important dll?
