Two other thoughts: (1) is initdb in your path, and is the *right
version* the first one in your path (I've been burnt by that on
upgrades). (2) I think that initdb requires USER, PGLIB, PGDATA
env variables to be set properly for reliable operation; also PATH
had better find the new version of postgres, psql, etc before any
older versions.
If that doesn't strike gold, a copy of the failing initdb session's
printout would be useful.
