Dave has verified taht it's actually because of the XP stuff (he can repro the failure on XP), so I guess we don't have much choice. Strictly speaking, we don't need the changes in builddoc.bat and install.bat, but I did them for the sake of completeness. Since it should not affect anyone not setting XP_EXIT_FIX it seems fairly low risk. I've applied it, except for builddoc.bat. Since we didn't send out an exitcode anyway there, it makes no difference. Left them in install.bat because there's an actual exitcode there. //Magnus ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster

I still would like to have it confirmed that this is actually an XP fault, and not something else in your environment. To that end, I've bugged Dave to run some builds on his XP VM (since it apparently works fine on my XP x64 machine). //magnus ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend

And I had the identical issue on my previous XP/x386 box. It would be very strange if somehow two environments got polluted like this. cheers andrew ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate
