Fixed size allocator disabled on windows in r40689, until this problem gets fixed.

[whiteknight]

The fixed-size allocator has been enabled on Windows for a few days now with no problem. I'm closing this ticket and removing the special-purpose code that disables this for Windows. We can open a new ticket for subsequent issues.
