Then your problem is that the tool above that you are using is breaking something, and that is where your error-tracking should be directed.

I haven't done it myself, and I wouldn't put a production db on cygwin, but I know others have done so with 8.0 at least. If you absolutely need to run it on NT4 (which in general is a bad idea, regardless of what version of pg you chose), you might want to investigate that. //Magnus
