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.

Um, so what error msg do you get when it's failing?


I get a popup box that says:

initdb.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Clicking a link gives this info:

AppName: initdb.exe      AppVer: 8.2.0.6051      ModName: msvcrt.dll
ModVer: 7.0.2600.1106    Offset: 00033830

It wouldn't let me copy the rest of the info ;-(

cheers
