Re: [PORTS] Windows XP could not get token information: 122

Since nobody did :-), here is the patch to fix pgwin32_is_service() to
use dynamic buffers.

Fred - this applies to current cvs. There has been some error msg
cleanups since beta4, so I'm not sure it'll apply cleanly to that one.

This is clearly a case of oversight in my fix of token buffers
in src/backend/port/win32/security.c.

pgwin32_is_admin() correctly uses a dynamic buffer.
pgwin32_is_service() does not.

I'll code up a patch for this tomorrow, unless beaten to it. If
you want to do it yourself, just copy the logic from is_admin to
is_service. note that there are two calls to gettokeninformation in
is_service - both need dynamic buffers.

Greetings,

I built postgreSQL 8.0 beta 4 from scratch on Windows XP
SP1 using minGW/MSYS and encountered the following error when attempting
to run the resulting executable:

could not get token information: 122

I appreciate any help...
Fred J.
