I'm getting the following error when trying to initdb with CVS tip. This is on win XP, though I don't know if it's win32 specific. Also of note, although it says it's clearing the contents of the directory, in actual fact it leaves the directory structure in place, thus a subsequent initdb will not run without a manual clearup.
Regards, Dave. $ initdb The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "dpage". This user must also own the server process.
