PostgreSQL 8.0.2 and 7.4.7 does not work anymore since cygwin 1.5.14

Hello!

I used a self compiled PostgreSQL 8.0.2 under cygwin. Since
the update from cygwin 1.5.13 to 1.5.16 the postmaster
process always crashes with Signal 12, bad system call. Recompiling
did not change that.

With PostgreSQL 7.4.7 I lost the posibility to connect
to the database with psql and the other command line tools like
vacuumdb. A connection worked only for a few moments after a restart of
the postmaster. The command line tools suggested, that the database was
not running. But a connection with the JDBC-driver still worked.

I changed back to 1.5.13, but the crashes on PostgreSQL 8.0.2 are still
there.
But for PostgreSQL 7.4.7 the command line tools got a connection again
without a restart of the postmaster.

Could anyone verify this behaviour or has further suggestions? I did
not find any information on the cygwin or postgresql
mailinglist-archives yet.

A great problem on my side is, that i cannot send emails greater than 5 kb.

Regards,
Roland.
