The problem appears to be free()-ing memory allocated in a different DLL, 
which apparently isn't allowed on this platform (didn't anyone test the 
previous release candidates on Win7? :)

That is, the Cython module scipy.spatial.qhull allocated memory, passed 
it on to the Cython module scipy.interpolate.interpnd, which tried to 
free it -> boom.

This should fix it:

I'll see if I also manage to build Windows binaries...
