Andrew: you have a cygwin installation, don't you? Could you test if
"pg_ctl start" works when the binaries are installed to a path that
contains both a space and an @ sign, like "C:\white

fixes it.
I'll see what I can do.
I tried git master like this:
foo\ bar/a\@b/bin/initdb.exe data
foo\ bar/a\@b/bin/pg_ctl.exe -D data/ -w start
and didn't encounter a problem.
Platform is Windows 8 Pro 64 bit, with latest 32 bit Cygwin.
[ ... ] It looks like possibly the only time this will actually matter
on Cygwin is when starting a service. Just running "pg_ctl start"
from the command line works fine. But starting the service doesn't.
I'll try the patch when I get a chance.
No, there is something horribly wrong with the Cygwin service code. I
don't have time now to sort it out. I suspect it's been broken for a
very long time. I'm not even sure why we have it. Cygwin contains a
wrapper (cygrunsrv) for setting up cygwin executables as services, so
this is probably worse than redundant.
