The bug might come from the following bug by Microsoft: http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/595553/stat-function-returns-error-for-directory-symbolic-links Note that initdb in 8.4 worked expectedly because it is built with MSVC 2005, but initdb in 9.0 won't work because built with MSVC 2008 :-( . -- Itagaki Takahiro -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
