Well, as you already know from private email, but others might find
usefull, there are some test cases in "dev/tests/". Of particular interest

There should probably be a link to that from "/source/", as well as updated
system requirements to deal with NT.

Email me the output and maybe I can make an educated guess; or at least
have it for reference for when I get an NT box up and running.
