I just installed postgres from the postgresql-8.0.3.zip file, and I'm
running
XPpro. The installation seemed to go ok but when I try to login as postgres
it tells me...

psql -Upostgres -W
(I enter my password)

psql server closed the connection unexpectedly
this probably means the server terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request
