I'm able to reproduce it on 64-bit Linux with the Unix Makefiles
generator.  However, I cannot do it with just a3aa333d.  The
test failures reported on the dashboard a few days ago were
actually using this version:

 Merge topic 'fix-max-path-initialization' into next
 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=2cdc6d09

That topic includes 26cae90b, a revision of a3aa333d, followed
by several more changes.  The merge base of that topic does not
fail but the head of the topic does.  Within the topic the problem
bisects to:

 cmGlobalGenerator: Create local generator after configuring the makefile.
 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=d3f6ff43

Can you reproduce it with that version?
