It works on WinNT, Win2K, ... because full file security is implemented
only in this systems. There could be a dirty hack that disables the
check (for 0700 permissions on $DATADIR) in
src/backend/postmaster/postmaster.c. I don't know if it is possible to
do it during runtime for only Win9x systems.
