The patch was applied around midnight on 8/21 so I suggest you try an
newer download.  I wish I could give you an easy to see if the -w is
working but I can't on Win32.  On unix I changed the system call to do
"sh -c "sleep 40; postmastger ..." &  but that doesn't work on Win32.

If you have source put a sleep call at the top of the postmaster code
and see if the -w hangs printing does while waiting for the system to
start.
