For a moment I thought this could be related to InheritStdHandles() - but no,
it doesn't make a difference.
There's loads of handles referencing cygwin alive in pg_ctl.
Based on difference in strace output for bash -c "pg_ctl stop" for the case
where start redirected stdin (#1) and where not (#2), it looks like some part
of msys / cygwin sees that stdin is alive when preparing to execute "pg_ctl
stop", and then runs into trouble.
The way we start the child process on windows makes the use of cmd.exe for
redirection pretty odd.
I couldn't trivially reproduce this with a much simpler case (just nohup
sleep). Perhaps it's dependent on a wrapper cmd or such.
Greetings,
Andres Freund
