>Description:
	postgres ver 7.2.3
	postgres7 initdb program doesn't create directory.
	needs -p option.
	Example:
	su -l pgsql -c initdb
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "pgsql".
This user must also own the server process.

creating directory /usr/local/pgsql/data... ok
creating directory /usr/local/pgsql/data/base... ok
creating directory /usr/local/pgsql/data/global... ok
creating directory /usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_xlog... ok
creating directory /usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_clog... ok
creating template1 database in /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/1... Bad system
call (core dumped)

initdb failed.
>How-To-Repeat:
	cd /usr/ports/postgres7
	make install
>Fix:

Add in the -p option to mkdir.
