I don't know why do you say this.  LWP cannot by definition preempt 
Windows because the DJGPP program using LWP is just one of the programs 
running on the system, and it is fully under the Windows control: it only 
runs whenever Windows gives it the CPU.

I think the problems on Windows 2000 are related to the general issue 
with DJGPP signal handling on the NT family of Windows.  For more details 
about these problems, see section 3.3 of the DJGPP FAQ list.
