Troubles with the 7.4.2-1 cygwin package

I tried installing the 7.4.2 package today with no success.

I understand that because of a bug fix between 7.4.1 and 7.4.2, a
dump/restore cycle is recommended. So I dumped my current db's, installed
7.4.2 via cygwin's setup application, logged in as my postgres user, and
proceeded to init.

Instead of seeing the normal progress of initdb, I saw the following...

$initdb -D /usr/local/data

I Reinstalled 7.4.1-3, and executed the normal initdb/restore cycle
without a problem at all.
