this is not a bug with ldtp but with ltfx. Also you cannot use wildcard characters in ltfx functions.

As a temporary work around you could try this:

in the source code of ltfx,

maintl.c: (approximately lines 598, 603, 616, 621) comment out 'if (TRUE == generate_result)'

diff:
<              if (TRUE == generate_result)
