This is interesting... I've never had any problems at all with this program
(and it is very good). There is an LZ .82 out now, which I believe claimed to
have a few bug fixes; however, even with .81 I never had problems.  I know
it works fine when you don't use wildcards (seldom need to use them, myself)
so this should at least keep you going... have you thought that maybe it
doesn't like the way Shell expands wildcards? Try quoting them so Shell will
let LZ expand them on its own... this is often a problem...
