Signal 12 is "Bad system call". Quoting from
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/postgresql-7.4.5.README:
---------------
Regardless of the installation type, the first step is to add "server" to
your CYGWIN environment variable setting and start cygserver. See the
cygserver README:
/usr/share/doc/cygwin/cygserver.README
for more details. If the CYGWIN variable is not set correctly and/or
cygserver is not running then initdb and postmaster will fail to run
properly.
---------------
Looks like that's what's happening in your case.
HTH,
Igor
