Yeah - unfortunately though recent experience with similar
hard-to-find bugs have not normally shown up in PM. They've been much
more subtle, usually requiring much poking around in Process Explorer
which is difficult to do via email.

If you can provide a Process Monitor trace of the failed initdb, it
would be useful to take a look Vadim - even if it just eliminates the
obvious problems.
