Hi Peter,
Haven't yet had the time to properly try this out. Did a quick initial
installation of PostgreSQL 7.2 with cygwin 1.3.9, and got the same error as
yourself.
I've had reports of PostgreSQL 7.1.3 working on cygwin however, but haven't
gotten around to trying that myself yet. There is a possibility that the 7.2
version of PostgreSQL that's made for cygwin might not yet be at a point
where it should be, due to PostgreSQL 7.2 only very recently being released.
There is a PostgreSQL "cygwin" mailing list which you can subscribe to and
ask the guys there about, and this sounds like it might be the best avenue
for you :

Hoping that helps.
:-)
Regards and best wishes,
Justin Clift
