This is my 32 bit build that fails:

Application: kicad
Version: (2014-10-26 BZR 5226)-product Release build
wxWidgets: Version 3.0.2 (debug,wchar_t,compiler with C++ ABI 1002,GCC
4.9.1,wx containers,compatible with 2.8)
Platform: Windows 8 (build 9200), 64-bit edition, 64 bit, Little endian,
wxMSW
Boost version: 1.56.0
         USE_WX_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT=OFF
         USE_WX_OVERLAY=OFF
         KICAD_SCRIPTING=ON
         KICAD_SCRIPTING_MODULES=ON
         KICAD_SCRIPTING_WXPYTHON=ON
         USE_FP_LIB_TABLE=HARD_CODED_ON
         BUILD_GITHUB_PLUGIN=ON

One thing that is different is I'm using GCC 4.9.1.  The other thing is
I running on 64 bit windows.  I wonder if gcc is the issue.  When I get
a chance I will test my older mingw32 (gcc 4.7.2) with wxWidgets 3.0.2
to see if it is compiler related.
