Hello Tom,
How annoying :-(. I think what you need to do is use truss or strace
or local equivalent with the follow-forks flag, so that you can see what
the stand-alone backend process does, not just initdb itself.
Ok, next round. I just have truss as an option, because strace didn't
work at my AMD64. Hope its helpfull:
$ truss -f -o /tmp/pgtuss-f.txt /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D
/usr/local/pgsql/data
Result:

[ scratches head ... ] That looks like it got interrupted before
getting to anything interesting. Did the console printout show any "Bad
system call" reports?
Yes, it does. But because i believed that it's not very helpful without
a core-file, i rebuild everything again. I checked out the newsted
sources from bsd, build the world new, the jail new and than the postgresql.
It's the same like before, but this time with core-file! :) I don't know
why, but now there is one. You can find it here:
http://www.dddbl.de/postgres.core (2,4 MB)
If helpful, i can give you access to the jail. This should be easier for
us, than communication over multiple timezones.
Greetings,
Torsten
