Hi, I believe this problem is fixed in git. I'm going to try and get the automatic builds working again this weekend, but if you have time, building it yourself should fix the problem.
[To build it yourself: Install Visual Studio Express 2013 or the like; git clone the repository; Open a Visual Studio shell and run build-support\factor.cmd] Sorry for the inconvenience!
