I found since I posted this, that adding a '-x2 -w=/dd' to the command 
line, will convert the error to a memory overflow exit that takes a couple 
of minutes to fall out.

{t2|07}/S1:lha a -P9 -x2 -w=/dd -r maxtor.lzh /dd/maxtor/

Creating archive : maxtor.lzh


Memory overflow
LHA Error #2
ERROR #001

And of course no trace of the archive exists.  To bad it doesn't have a -
vvvv switch to turn on verbose debugging.

Thanks
