initdb: The password file was not generated.

While test building from CVS head on fedora 10 (also on fedora 6), I get:



./configure --prefix=/home/super/pg_stuff/pg_installations/pgsql.cvs_vanilla --with-pgport=6542
--quiet --enable-depend --with-openssl --with-perl --with-libxml --with-libxslt

gcc (GCC) 4.3.2

compile OK, tests OK, install OK, without errors, then initdb:

initializing pg_authid ... ok
setting password ... ok
initdb: The password file was not generated. Please report this problem.
initdb: removing data directory "/home/super/pg_stuff/pg_installations/pgsql.cvs_vanilla/data"
