signal 12 tells us nothing. check /bin/ipcs if IPC is working ok for you

There are two versions of postgresql for cygwin:
one linked to the old ipc-daemon2 (up to 7.3),
and all newer ones linked to the new cygwin1.dll/cygserver IPC (since 7.4)

ipc-daemon2 is not supported and recommended anymore. There's no 
postgresql version available via the cygwin setup.exe installer which 
uses ipc-daemon2. Check your README.
