I committed the non-invasive fixes to backbranches (and master too, just to

There are a couple of places in the code where we have #ifdef WIN32 code
that uses CreateProcess with "CMD /C ..." directly.

1. Do we need similar handling for CreatePipe case where it directly uses
executable path such as in function pipe_read_line()?
Currently the caller of pipe_read_line() calls canonicalize_path() to change
win32 specific path, is that sufficient or do we need SYSTEMQUOTE type
of handling for it.

No, SYSTEMQUOTE style handling is not required with CreateProcess. find_other_exec, which is the only caller of pipe_read_line, adds one pair of double-quotes around the executable's path, which is enough for CreateProcess.

2.
system.c
#include <assert.h>
Do we really need inclusion of assert.h or this is for future use?

You're right, that's not needed.

3. One more observation is that currently install.bat doesn't work
for such paths:
install.bat "e:\PostgreSQL\master\install 1\ins@1"
1\ins@1""=="" was unexpected at this time.

Yeah, I noticed that. I haven't looked into what it would take to fix that, but for now you can just install to a path that doesn't contain whitespace, and move it from there. install.bat is only used by developers / packagers, so that's not a big deal.

4. Similar to Andrew, I also could not reproduce this problem on my
Windows system (Windows 7 64 bit)
e:\>"e:\PostgreSQL\master\install 1\ins@1\bin\initdb.exe" -D "e:
\PostgreSQL\master\Data 1"
e:\>"e:\PostgreSQL\master\install 1\ins@1\bin\pg_ctl.exe" start -D "e:
\PostgreSQL\master\Data 1"

Above commands work fine.

Hmm, I'm also testing on 64-bit Windows 7, and it failed for me. Note that I already committed the narrow fix for initdb - which I also backpatched - to master, so to reproduce you'll need to revert that locally (commit 503de546).

I fixed the issues with malloc that Tom pointed out and committed the wrapper functions to git master. But please let me know if there's still a problem with it.
