PostgreSQL : Bad system calls

[Alex Goldman <alex dot gman at gmail dot com>]

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:
