This is the only matching string in initdb.c
/*
* Open a subcommand with suitable error messaging
*/
static FILE *
popen_check(const char *command, const char *mode)
{
FILE *cmdfd;
fflush(stdout);
fflush(stderr);
errno = 0;
cmdfd = popen(command, mode);
if (cmdfd == NULL)
fprintf(stderr,
_("%s: could not execute command \"%s\": %s\n"),
progname, command, strerror(errno));
return cmdfd;
}
So I guess the question is, what could cause popen on Windows to return
NULL, but not set errno?
