Thanks for the heads up. I saw several different versions of Boost
reported in this thread and I was beginning to think that it might be
related to distros using the native version instead of the KiCad version
of Boost.

I have just duplicated this problem on MinGW32 using GCC 4.7.0 so it
appears to be GCC version dependent. I also saw a dialog box flash up
and disappear before I could read it. Please tell me we are not using
those insane self dismissing message boxes again. I thought I rooted
all of those out of KiCad. I have attached the board file that causes
the problem. I doesn't get much more simple than this. There is not
even a net list imported into the board. Just a board outline, the
zone, and the zone cut out.

Here is the build information:

Application: Pcbnew
Version: (2012-10-08 BZR 3759)-testing
Build: wxWidgets 2.9.3 (wchar_t,compiler with C++ ABI 1002,GCC 4.7.0,wx
containers,compatible with 2.8)
Platform: Windows 7 (build 7601, Service Pack 1), 64-bit edition, 64
bit, Little endian, wxMSW
Boost version: 1.49.0
Options: USE_PCBNEW_SEXPR_FILE_FORMAT=OFF
          USE_PCBNEW_NANOMETRES=OFF
          USE_PCBNEW_SEXPR_FOOTPRINT_LIBS=OFF
          KICAD_GOST=OFF
          USE_WX_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT=OFF
          USE_WX_OVERLAY=OFF
          USE_BOOST_POLYGON_LIBRARY
          KICAD_SCRIPTING=OFF

I'm running the 64 bit version of Debian Testing at home where the
default version of GCC is 4.7.1. I'll see if I can duplicate the error
with the default version of Boost.
