Description

Xref #1938 which covers the 32-bit tests. Xref #111. Full mode is now the default but we have not had time to fix all the tests that fail with that in place. We added some to the ignore list to get Appveyor green and keep things moving along. This issue covers going through the ignore list, fixing each test, and removing it from the list.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the test ignore list for 64 bit Windows full mode. Identify failing tests by running them and comparing with the ignore list. Debug each test, fix the underlying issue (likely related to full mode memory debugging), and remove the test from the ignore list. Use Appveyor CI to verify.
