PostgreSQL version: 8.0.13
Operating system:   Windows XP SP2
Description:        Service fails to start with option -w
Details:

The pgsql-8.0 Win32 service fails to start when option -w is added to the
ImagePath registry entry.

This was observed with versions 8.0.10 and 8.0.13.

It happens no matter if I use pg_ctl register to install the service or if I
add the option manually through regedit.
