     Type:  defect         |      Status:  new          
 Priority:  medium         |   Milestone:  PostGIS 2.1.0
Component:  postgis        |     Version:  trunk        
 Keywords:                 |  
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 PostgreSQL 9.1.4 x64 on Windows 7, installed using the installer

 I stopped the PostgreSQL service, copied the binaries from PostGIS 2.1.0
 r10170 to the PG bin directory and tried to start the service. It freezes
 in the "starting" state. I can see in process explorer that pg_ctl is
 running, but it doesn't have any child processes. This happens every time
 - I cannot start Postgres.

 Eventually I narrowed it down to libxml2-2.dll. PostgreSQL already
 includes that file (6307 KB) and if I don't replace it with the PostGIS
 one (1295 KB) then it starts and runs successfully.
