I can't reproduce that here.

I generated a dummy 'pierce.pkt':

c:\ele>copy pierce.pkt fido\inb

c:\ele>hpt toss
1 14:54:20   Start
1 14:54:20   Start tossing...

Put these in your hpt.cfg to help debugging:

LogLevels 12345789ACDEFGHIJKLMNPQRSTVWX
ScreenLogLevels 12345789ACDEFGHIJKLMNPQRSTVWX
LogEchoToScreen On
