based on the fact that the crash never seemed to have happened with default screen resolutions and also inspired by the only other getmem usage in the code I came up with this simple solution which seems to work just fine.
I do not understand why getmem seems to need this, but well - feel free to explain.
if(WIN32 AND NOT UNIX)
file(GLOB DLLs *.dll)
file(GLOB ICOs *.ico)
install(FILES
${DLLs}
${ICOs}
DESTINATION bin)
endif(WIN32 AND NOT UNIX)
