The above problem is due to Cygwin 1.1.8, see the following for more
information:

You can "fix" the problem by temporarily downgrading to Cygwin 1.1.7.
Please do me a favor and forward this to pgsql-ports@postgresql.org, if
you don't see my response there too. I have been having problem posting
recently. When it rains it pours...
Thanks,
Jason
