This took me hours to find ...
On my Windows box, CVS HEAD gets an execution failure on "initdb foo" but succeeds happily with "initdb -D foo".
This is not true for REL8_1_STABLE, nor is it true for all Windows machines/environments, apparently, otherwise we would be seeing failures from the buildfarm member snake, since the buildfarm script does "initdb data".
My suspicion is that this is some side effect of the restricted-exec patch, but I don't have time to dig further right now.
