Signal 12

Hi,
i am a beginner under cygwin and i
got the following problem:

- compiled version 7.4.3-1 from source with
  ./configure
  make
  make install

- started deamon
  ipc-daemon2 &

- new directory
  mkdir /usr/src/postgresql-7.4.3-1/data

sofar so good.

- initializing
  initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -W -E LATIN1
  The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "hss".
  This user must also own the server process.

  The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.
