Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club! Firstly, have you checked what version of LSPPP you are using? Secondly, note that just because "multitasking" is ON, doesn't mean that "Downloading of images is ON", simply this "feature" is mostly (entirely???) related to image downloading. Hope that clears up the confusion. Lastly, what UART do you have? Is it 8250/16450 or is it 16550A? If the former, you will definitely have these troubles.
