Hi Thomas-

I located a windows machine to try this.  I suspect that this is an
artifact of OpenCascade 7.2.  Can you test with OpenCascade 7.1?  I haven't
tracked down exactly what changed in 7.2 but it appears that 7.0 and 7.1
work but 7.2 will require additional work in kicad2step.

Of note, OCCT 6.8 also works but 6.9 (and OCE 0.18, which is based on 6.9)
do not work either.  This is due to a compiler optimization but appears to
be a different issue than the 7.2 one.
