OK, 64 bit not working is a totally different story!

I will setup a dashboard for that and verify.  Thanks.

I still don't see the desire for 64 bit when 32 bit works...  :)

I must be missing something....

I could put a notice that says:

Note: 32 bit CMake can be used to build 64 bit applications with no 
problem.   If you really want a 64 bit binary of CMake for some reason, 
then you can build it from source.
