Yes, what you are pointing out is correct.  winbase.h and winnt.h
should be consulted instead of ntstatus.h.  See the the section
"Return Value" in the following page:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/ru-ru/library/ms679356.aspx

Furthermore, the message is meaningless for users because they can do
nothing with the information.  So, I think the message should say
something like

child process was terminated by exception %X
This seems to be a bug of PostgreSQL.
Please report this message with the details of the phynomenon to
PostgreSQL developers.


What do you think?
