Stay far away from ipc-daemon! Especially v 1.x!!!! For a long time, the ipc-daemon2 has been part of the cygwin
installation.
Now they have something better, and as of recently the postgress-package in cygwin also uses the followup-replacement
ofipc-daemon: cygserver.
Read the up-to-date installation instructions that come with postgresql-7.4.3 for cygwin. Remove ipc-daemon, in all
versions,from your system. Perhaps reinstall the cygwin-1.5.10-3 package using the cygwin installer.
