Greetings Martin.

I performed a manual (15d) build on our shared Windows 2003 AMD64 box, 
and I was able to replicate the behavior using the glue script used in 
the nightly build process.  However, this behavior wasn't replicated 
when I built the .examples project through the devenv GUI.  I need to 
try building the solution using the build_msvc-8.0-x64.bat script, but I 
am currently unable to due to fallout from some internal infrastructure 
changes.
