Long Description
(Note that this bug might be considered a duplicate of #188).
I have installed PostgreSQL v7.1 on a system running Windows 2000 Service Pack 1 with a recent Cygwin installation. I
havefollowed the installation instructions to the letter, both in INSTALL and doc/FAQ_MSWIN. ./configure, make, make
installand initdb work fine. Then I try to execute the following command:
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data >logfile 2>&1 &
Per the instructions in INSTALL. postmaster.exe is loaded in the background, as expected. Approximately one second
later,I get the following error message:
$ C:\Utility\CygWin\usr\local\pgsql\bin\postgres.exe: *** recreate_mmaps_after_fork_failed
Note that I haven't done anything unusual; I have followed the installation instructions to the letter, as mentioned.
