[PATCHES] [patch] 7.4 initdb - drop trailing slash from $PGDATA

[Jari Aalto]

I made a mistake while running 7.4 under W2k/Cygwin, so perhaps
the patch would give user a little more comfort.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/work/tpu/course/1132/sql/postgres# LC_ALL=C initdb 
/usr/share/postgresql/data/
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "root".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.
