The solution presented at CodeReview works fine on CentOS 7.1. I have tried to port it to Windows 7, Visual Studio 2012. With minor edits to allow for the parts of C++11 that VS 2012 doesn't support the code compiles, and the first execution of the loop works correctly. The rest of the execution of test cases fail, growing progressively more incorrect with each execution.
The code for this problem can be found on github.
finished computation at 0 /* problem here not included in question */
elapsed time: 0.202012 Seconds
The point of origin for all path searches was A3
The destination point for all path searches was H4
The number of squares on each edge of the board is 8
The slicing methodology used to further limit searches was no repeat visits to any rows or columns.
There are 5 Resulting Paths
There were 323 attempted paths
The average path length is 4.8
The median path length is 4
The longest path is 6 moves
The shortest path is 4 moves
I believe the problem is in one of the files listed below. I've been debugging this for 2 days, I can use some help.

* This class implements the search for all possible paths for a Knight
* on a chess board from one particular square on the board to another
* particular square on the board.
*
* The current implementation is a Recursive Breadth First Search. Conceptually
* the algorithm implements a B+ tree with a maximum of 8 possible branches
* at each level. The root of the tree is the point of origin. A particular
* path terminates in a leaf. A leaf is the result of either reaching the
* destination, or reaching a point where there are no more branches to
* traverse.
*
* The m_Path variable is used as a stack within the search.
*
* The public interface CalculatePaths establishes the root and creates
* the first level of branching. The protected interface CalculatePath
* performs the recursive depth first search, however, the
* m_MoveFilters.GetPossibleMoves() function it calls performs a breadth
* first search of the current level.
