COPY is complaining because the \. terminator in the file it's been fed has a different kind of newline after it than the newlines earlier in the file (LF vs CR/LF, no doubt). The part of the initdb script that must be causing this is echo "COPY information_schema.sql_features (feature_id, feature_name, sub_feature_id, sub_feature_name, is_supported, comments) FROM STDIN;" cat "$datadir"/sql_features.txt echo "\." ) \ | "$PGPATH"/postgres $PGSQL_OPT template1 > /dev/null || exit_nicely echo "ok" so it appears that cygwin's "echo" generates a different newline style than what got put into sql_features.txt. A possible way to fix this is to put the "\." line into sql_features.txt, but maybe there's a cleaner answer.
