The fact that all Postgres processes disappear is normal. Postgres
itself (more precisely, the postmaster process) kills all server
processes when one of them dies unexpectedly.

Maybe Eclipse is trying to run more of them at a time than ant, and the
extra concurrency is killing the server for some reason. Was this
compiled with Cygwin, or is it the native (mingw) version?
