PostgreSQL version: 9.0 RC1
Operating system:   Windows XP
Description:        Postgres service showing as stopped when in fact it is
running
Details:

The postgresql-9.0 service is showing as *not running* in pgAdmin 3 1.12 RC1
and as *stopped* in the Windows services list, although the database is
actually running and I can connect to it and create databases, tables etc.
It also shows multiple postgresql tasks in Windows task manager.
However, because Windows XP is not aware that the postgresql-9.0 service is
running it is not possible to stop the service.
