Hi I get "Bad system call" errors, when I try to run 'initdb'. I searched the net for "cygwin" + "postgresql" + "bad system call", and saw that others are complaining about this problem too, but I found no explanations or solutions. I tried both 7.4.3-1 and 7.4.5-1 versions of postgresql. Any idea what's going on? Here's a sample of the output:
