Hmm...

Also, where did the SEGVs go?

Looks OK, except that I expected to see "Thought1" above.

I'm sorry, but I think that you are having a problem due to XP Home or
some other misconfiguration. You will have to debug further yourself.

I would start in src/backend/utils/init/postinit.c:

/*
* Find oid and path of the database we're about to open. Since
* we're not yet up and running we have to use the hackish
* GetRawDatabaseInfo.
*/
**> GetRawDatabaseInfo(dbname, &MyDatabaseId, datpath);

if (!OidIsValid(MyDatabaseId))
elog(FATAL,
"Database \"%s\" does not exist in the system catalog.",
dbname);

and figure out why GetRawDatabaseInfo() fails and/or returns a bogus
MyDatabaseId value.
