It was done in complete silence, without prior discussions wrt whether to make this the default. (Yes, I suggested that, but no one replied, and we never discussed it.) . It arbitrarily excludes the native MS-Windows builds from this feature, for no good reasons: the 64-bit Windows build has no problems with it, and the problem discovered in the 32-bit build has a simple solution. If you (Paul) didn't want to implement that solution yourself, you could have asked _before_ turning this on. In general, every feature that exists only on some platforms is a Bad Thing, as it introduces maintenance problems and in particular makes people who work on different platforms unable to usefully compare what they see and solve problems reported by others. . It does include the 32-bit Cygwin-w32 build which could potentially be affected by the same problem as the native Windows 32-bit builds. In sum, I don't understand these sneaky practices, and I wish they'd stopped. How many times do you have to be told to revert your commits before you understand that this is not how we do things around here?
