Well, I'm not sure I've resolved your bug, but I found a bug.  If a
"cmake -P myscript" contains a configure_file and attempts to execute
it, it dies with a bizarre error about CMake not being built
correctly.  The "cmake -P" docs do say that a script executed in this
manner does not have any configuration step or cache.  However, it's
not reasonable for it to die with the error it's giving.  I've filed
bug http://cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=6337 "cmake -P crashes on
configure_file".

Are you using cmake -P or a CMakeLists.txt?
