When did he tried it the last time? with which revision?
probably with an older revision < 3.4.x

Yes, there was an annoying bug with an OS/2 version, that produces a runtime
error under OS/2 but not on other revisions.
This bug has been fixed in v3.4 and the ticket is marked closed-fixed
https://sourceforge.net/p/makenl/bugs/17/

You can forward these infos also with the FORcesubmit 1  parameter setting
and probably all problems are gone  -;)
