.. warning::
The MPS does not work in a multi-threaded 32-bit application on an
unpatched 64-bit Windows 7. This is due to a serious bug in
Microsoft's WOW64 emulator. See `WOW64 bug: GetThreadContext() may
return stale contents
<http://zachsaw.blogspot.co.uk/2010/11/wow64-bug-getthreadcontext-may-return.html>`_.
The bug is fixed in Windows 8; on Windows 7 you must install the
`hotfix from Microsoft
<http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2864432/en-us>`_.
If you are running a multi-threaded 32-bit application on 64-bit
Windows 7 via the WOW64 emulator, then you must install `this

The MPS is highly portable and has run on many other processors and
operating systems in the past (see `Building the MPS
<manual/guide/build.html>`__). Most of the MPS is written in very pure
ANSI C and compiles without warnings on anything.
