Looks like a problem all right ... which PG version is this exactly?

Unfortunately initdb shoves all the output from the later steps straight
to /dev/null, so you can't see what went wrong here.  Look in the initdb
script and remove the "-o /dev/null" from PGSQL_OPT and the >/dev/null
from the commands that set up pg_shadow, so that we can get more info.
