Hi,
	I threw this to cygwin but it doesn't seem to have elisited any
interest over the weekend so I'm sending it here as a beta problem (not
entirely sure if this is correct or if it should go to bugs).

When trying to start the postmaster on win98se with cygwin
I get told that the data directory must be 0700, but when I try to chmod to
700, it apparently succeds, but nothing permissions stay at 755. I suspect
this to be because win98 has no real file protection (just a read only
attribute)

TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
