Motivated by the above, I finally looked into this long standing Cygwin
PostgreSQL problem. Specifically, Cygwin PostgreSQL will hang and
consume all available CPU cycles if cygipc's ipc-daemon is not running
when either initdb or postmaster is started.
I'm proposing that the attached patch (against cygipc-1.11-1) be applied
to cygipc since it solves the Cygwin PostgreSQL hang problems.
Specifically, this patch changes cygipc's shmget() and semget() to
return ENOSYS instead of EACCES if ipc-daemon is not running.
However, I'm concerned that this change could adversely affect other
applications (e.g., Cygwin KDE) that rely on cygipc. Would a such a
user be willing to try a pre-built, already patched version of cygipc?
If so, then this package can be found at:

Please report your findings to the Cygwin list.
If interested, see the following PostgreSQL mailing thread (which is
split over two months) for supporting information:

Thanks,
