STATUS_DLL_INIT_FAILED, aka a dependency problem with a DLL trying to
be loaded but it cannot because it is lacking something. In short
that's an issue of the installer bundling Postgres here. Last time I
saw that I was facing a "DLL hell" problem with postgres DLLs trying
to load both msvcr90.dll and msvcr120.dll when loading a background
worker. Fun times.
