Subject: Win98SE_Postgres' initb FATAL  shmat(id=1179648)

Can't manage initializing db in Postgresql-7-4-3;, Win 98se, Cygwin 
1.5.10-3
 I added " set CYGWIN=server" in cygwin.bat, and also added
"set PATH =C:\Programmi\GNU\CygWin\bin  
C:\Programmi\GNU\CygWIn\usr\slib\cygserver.exe:$PATH"

This is what I type at prompt:

$ cd C:/Programmi/Gnu/Cygwin/usr/sbin
$ start cygserver                             //server starts, in 
another shell
$ initdb -D /data    //Ok here's the prompt: answer:
The files belonging to this database system will bw owned by user 
"admin".This user must own the server process.
The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.

failed:
Invalid argument

initdb: failed

// I tried to reduce the amount of shared memory making changes  in 
cygserver-config, for example setting number of buffers to a lower 
value, no way; setting "kern.srv.sharedmem" to"no"doesn't work, program 
gets a number of  SIGNAL 12 and initdb fails.)
//I saw that other people posted this problem in  M-Lists, also googled 
about,  found no valid answers.
 Thanks for your attenction.
