Did you try on a 1.4 release?  1.5 is development, I'd expect it to be a
little buggy.

(Not that I'm defending lsh, I've just taken my first look at it yesterday,
and I don't know much about it at all.  Just trying to be fair.)

Did you sign up to the mailing list first?  At least they let
non-subscribers post to their list -- most lists are closed these days,
including this one.
