I never added this verbiage to my README, because I tried to stick with Cygwin specific issues and information.

If you really want to debug this, then switch user to system via "ssh system@localhost" and run postmaster from the command line or under gdb. However, this exercise may be short lived if I really carry out my above threat. :,) Jason -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
