Version 4.0 is quite old and there have been a lot of fixes to lwtools 
since then.

I'd wager you tripped on a bug in lwtools 4.0 or a problem with those 
particular binaries. Either way, I would have to know if you can 
reproduce the problem with a current version of lwtools.

I'm sure you can understand that I cannot provide any assistance with a 
version of lwtools that old given that the current released version is 4.7.

I have no way to produce functional windows binaries which is why you 
can't find a binary package for anything more recent. That said, I have 
reports that lwtools will build from source on windows using mingw.
