As noted in the release notes, the windows build is experimental and not 
widely used or tested.  Still it should have worked better than this.

Anyone else see this?

Do you have any zlib files in c:\Program Files\pcb-20080202 (or wherever 
it installed to)?

I've only fired this up once under win2k.  Can anyone else try on XP?
