The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference: 1368
Logged by: Michiel Tas
Email address: michiel_tas(at)hotmail(dot)com
PostgreSQL version: 8.0
Operating system: W XP Home
Description: initdb fails
Details:

I am using FAQ_CYGWIN.txt but when I follow all instructions precisely, and
perform the database initialisation as follows:

initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -W -E LATIN1

the result is "initdb: failed".

So first of all, is all documentation still up to date?
Second of all, is there a workaround or some other solution for this
problem?
Third of all, "initdb:failed" is the kind of error that is too general. It
does not provide a clue of what the problem is and how to solve it.
