[Attempto] problem with large lexicon

I created a subdirectory on a Windows (Vista) box and placed the following
files in it:

ape.exe
clex_lexicon_2000_words.pl    (a renamed copy of the ~2000 word lexicon
included with the AJP)
clex_lexicon_100000_words.pl    (a renamed copy of the ~100000 word lexicon
made availability on Attempto's download page)
test_program.ace    (a file that contained some ACE sentences)
generate_test_ACE_DRS_XML.bat    (a Windows batch file I created)

generate_test_ACE_DRS_XML.bat contained the following two lines:

ape -ulexfile clex_lexicon_2000_words.pl -file test_program.ace -solo drsxml
> test_program_2000_word_lexicon.ace.drs.xml
ape -ulexfile clex_lexicon_100000_words.pl -file test_program.acee -solo
drsxml > test_program_100000_word_lexicon.ace.drs.xml

When I ran the batch file it created a file named
"test_program_2000_word_lexicon.ace.drs.xml" and a file named
"test_program_100000_word_lexicon.ace.drs.xml".

test_program_2000_word_lexicon.ace.drs.xml contained the ACE sentences in
the test_program.ace expressed as ACE DRS XML, as expected, but
test_program_100000_word_lexicon.ace.drs.xml was empty.  No error messages
were displayed in the Windows Command Window I used to execute the batch
file.

I downloaded the Large Content Word Lexicon (Clex) a second time in case the
file had been corrupted during the download process, but that didn't fix the
problem.

Any ideas what may be causing this problem?

Thanks,
