Hi Andy,
Thanks! As per your advice I am posting the details below here. You can then post it in proper place.
PostGIS version - 1.3.6
Postgresql - 8.3

Postgresql.conf settings:

# -----------------------------
# PostgreSQL configuration file
# -----------------------------
#
# This file consists of lines of the form:
#
#   name = value
#
# (The "=" is optional.)  Whitespace may be used.  Comments are introduced with
# "#" anywhere on a line.  The complete list of parameter names and allowed
# values can be found in the PostgreSQL documentation.
#
# The commented-out settings shown in this file represent the default values.
# Re-commenting a setting is NOT sufficient to revert it to the default value;
# you need to reload the server.
#
# This file is read on server startup and when the server receives a SIGHUP
# signal.  If you edit the file on a running system, you have to SIGHUP the
# server for the changes to take effect, or use "pg_ctl reload".  Some
# parameters, which are marked below, require a server shutdown and restart to
# take effect.
#
# Any parameter can also be given as a command-line option to the server, e.g.,
# "postgres -c log_connections=on".  Some paramters can be changed at run time
# with the "SET" SQL command.
#
# Memory units:  kB = kilobytes MB = megabytes GB = gigabytes
# Time units:    ms = milliseconds s = seconds min = minutes h = hours d = days


#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# FILE LOCATIONS
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# The default values of these variables are driven from the -D command-line
# option or PGDATA environment variable, represented here as ConfigDir.

#data_directory = 'ConfigDir'           # use data in another directory

Again, looks like a windows thing.  I've never run pg on windows.  I
think that's a message you'd need to post to the postgres newsgroup and
see what they say.  (I'm already a user on the pg-general group, I'd be
happy to post it if you wanted me to.)

I dont recall, what version of pg is this.  And can you post your
uncommented postgres.conf settings.  (They pg newsgroup will want to see
all this.  You can post it for them there, or post it here and I'll post
it there.)

If you're running an old version of pg on windows, the first thing
they'll do is recommend you upgrade.  Just a warning.
