Jack,
the addIcon routine adds icons to the image lists maintained within 
Win32lib. However, these lists are not created until the first create of 
a ListView, TreeView or ComboBoxEx control. So maybe the program is 
failing because the addIcon() is being called before the create() of one 
of these controls.

I will fix this the next version such that the image lists are created 
by addIcon() if not already done so.
