Bug reference:      2558

PostgreSQL version: 8.1.4
Operating system:   win 2003
Description:        initDB failed to run
Details:

On one of mine win 2003 machine ( on any other win2003 machine everything
work as expected), I failed to install postgress in service mode using the
MSI package , after short investigation i found a failure in the initDB
phase, so I install postgress without running the initDB and then ran the
initDB manually with the debug option set, (The user is not an
Administrator).
The strange thing is that EnterpriseDB which is based on postgres works
fine.
The problem seems to be in the initDB.c source file in the
test_connections(void) and test_buffers(void) functions.
Here is the procedures and the output of the initDB.

After the installation I did:

- Runas /user:V_MYUSER CMD

- initDB -D "E:\Postgres\Data" -d -U V_MYUSER

Running in debug mode.
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user
"V_MYUSER".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale English_United
States.1252.
