Using %? in fmt! broken on Windows 7

[mindbound]

At least on Windows 7 64bit the following code,

let num = 5;
io::println(fmt!("Number: %?", num));

compiles but fails at runtime with error,

whereas explicit conversion to the appropriate type with %i and num as int yields no error (this behaviour is not limited to integers).

Likely related to alignment and other issues. May not be specific to
windows but rather to 32 bit.

Not critical for 0.6; removing milestone

Unfortunately I do not have access to a Windows machine atm to verify whether this is still an issue. @mindbound is it possible/convenient for you to retest?

[mindbound]

Yes, I'll retest tomorrow.

I cannot reproduce the issue any more, neither on trunk nor on incoming.

Can this be closed then?

Yes.
