[Qgis-developer] Blocking issues?

I've just tried to print to A0 with QGIS 1.6 on win7 (64bit, but QGIS 
compiled on WoW 32 bit) and got the crash. For me, it looks like a 
memory problem, not like a regression.

Some more observations:

-QGIS on win7 compiled with msvc 64 bit: printing to A0 works
-Linux 64bit: printing to A0 works (I remember it worked on 32bit Linux 
too, probably because gcc is able to use more memory than msvc 32bit).
- No problem on Mac 64bit

Also, I don't recall larger changes in the print composer that could be 
related (but maybe in core components of QGIS and in the Qt libs?).

So the resolution is to use a 64bit compiled executable on Windows. 
Since at Sourcepole, we need to have a 64bit win version ready for our 
clients, we will also provide a public download for 1.8.

Regards,
Marco
