The problem with DT is that you must use the old grf code. There's an
option for it in config.h that you must set. The binary that comes in the
DT tar is not compiled with this option and will not work. In short, you
need to recompile it. :) 

It's really easy to do:

1. edit config.h and uncomment the line
      #define USE_OLD_GRF

2. make clean
3. make
4. copy  the fresh binary wherever you like.
