Yes, but when I read this I realised that I forget to 'make clean'
before rebuilding. Having done that I then found that gdb eats about
100Mb of memory and 50% of cpu without actually displaying itself until
killed 10 minutes later. I tried this twice - I guess that gdb under
cygwin has trouble with large exe's as my machine should handle it
(PIII-M 1.13GHz, 512Mb).

Yes, I added a 60 second wait to the appropriate part of initdb (-W 60).
I could also get a stack trace which showed that I had broken in
RangeVarGetCreationNamespace as intended.
