[issue7206] 64 bit python fails on Windows 7

I have an apology to make for wasting your time.

Further investigation demonstrates that it was evidently fiddling with 
the Application Verifier that broke everything (although I installed it 
during my debugging attempts- I'm guessing that something else in VS has 
the same capabilities).

By disabling all tests the application runs, by reenabling them it stops 
again.

I now have a few questions

1) How can the verifier add the flags to the loading mechanism to add 
the breaks? In that when I installed different versions/clean reinstall 
of the same version it was still broken. Clearly it doesn't patch the 
binary, but leaves a flag somewhere (???) about the binary?

2) OK by the looks of it I only had one question ;)

thanks for all your help!
