Seems a bit more likely to me that, juding from his post, it sounds as if he stopped trying to get LW to work a couple months ago. He tried again, dled a new version, and lo and behold, the new version fixed his bug.

I could be wrong, but from what he wrote, it sounds as he implies that he downloaded a new version of LW. If so, I think I explain it above, if not, beats me.
