Hmm. I see at least part of the problem: the poweron default for
log_destination is "stderr" which is not very helpful on Windows;
the message is probably going to the bit bucket since any destination
change you may have requested in postgresql.conf probably hasn't been
applied yet. (Joe, if you put log_destination = eventlog in the conf
file before the mistaken entry, does it report properly?)

Seems like we need a different poweron default on Windows.
