I am suspicious of the Win32 port, to be honest. The store checking is 
quite comprehensive, and will definitely get it into a state which is 
working. Maybe it's not coping well with something. It would probably 
help Nick if you could create a minimal environment where it goes 
wrong.

I'm afraid that at the moment, I can only really help if it's run on 
UNIX.
