[BUG] Bad File Descriptor while trying to set up postgresql

[David A. Cobb]

At first, this stopped me entirely from initializing postgres; however, 
today the initdb & createdb succeeded -- I don't know what changed.  In 
any case, references to the database directory during the initdb incur a 
Bad File Descriptor complaint when trying to set permissions.

The partition where the database lives is FAT32 -- it needs to be 
because it is also visible from my Linux dual-boot. 
I know permissions on a FAT32 volume are, at best, faked.  But IMHO it 
shouldn't incur this sort of error.
