Segmentation fault after upgrading to 1.5.18-1

Hi, yesterday I upgraded my cygwin on Windows XP to the 1.5.18-1 version, and
now the previously installed postmaster (7.4.5-1) doesn't start anymore. It was
working fine before the upgrade.

The environment seems correctly set up:

admin(at)DATA ~
$ env | grep CYGWIN
CYGWIN=server

and the cygserver service is running:

admin(at)DATA ~
$ ps -ef
UID PID PPID TTY STIME COMMAND
admin 776 1 con 19:11:17 /usr/bin/bash
SYSTEM 2936 1 ? 12:06:11 /usr/bin/cygrunsrv
SYSTEM 928 2936 ? 12:06:11 /usr/sbin/cygserver
admin 3624 776 con 12:10:29 /usr/bin/ps

However, when I start postmaster it runs for a few seconds only and then stops.
I upped the log level, and here's the result of starting postmaster manually:

admin(at)DATA ~
$ postmaster -D /var/postgresql/data -i

I tried tinkering with the /etc/cygserver.conf file, but I'm not making any
progress because I don't know exactly what I should change... Any help is
*greatly* appreciated.

The above indicates that PostgreSQL is crashing inside of the Cygwin
DLL. Unfortunately, one cannot conclude whether the bug is in Cygwin or
PostgreSQL without further debugging. FWIW, Cygwin 1.5.18-1 has a newer
version of Doug's Lea malloc which is more sensitive to problem like
double-free errors. See the Cygwin mailing list for more details, if
interested.

The above problem should be fixed in the latest Cygwin snapshot:

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-08/msg00249.html

Is someone willing to download the 2005-Aug-06 snapshot:

http://cygwin.com/snapshots/

try it, and report back to the list?

Thanks,
Jason
