Because in my case I had ipc-daemon (version 1.11) running and it still hung (Jason's patch reported the IpcMemoryCreate error).  Only when I downgraded to version 1.09 (office) and upgraded to 1.13 (home) did initdb succeed.  So I'd suggest also covering this scenario.

It will. But should be augmented with REAL tests about ipc-daemon's working (cygwin's ps is not the case):
 - either run cygipc test suite
 - or check event viewer for cygipc entries (or \CYGWIN_SYSLOG.TXT and/or console in w9x case)

The fact that 1.09 worked in your case, could happen because 1.09 is (maybe) more relaxed about the "/tmp" file permissions than others.
