Just an update, this problem goes away if L2H and the .tex source files both
reside on the NT system partition.  Oddly enough, if they both reside on
some other partition (E: in my case) the problem continues.  I just thought
I would bring this to the developers' attention to see if it made any sense
to you.  This workaround will suffice, but it would be nice if I could keep
all my data segregated from the system partition.  Has this happened to
anyone else running NT?
