capi:display-dialog not resizable on Windows?

I have an interface I show with capi:display-dialog (:modal t). There  
are no maximum size constraints. On the Mac I can resize it. On  
Windows I can't. Lispworks bug or difference in OS interface? You can  
see an example of this with the Lispworks example for capi:popup- 
confirmer:

  (capi:popup-confirmer
   (make-instance 'capi:text-input-pane
                  :callback
                  'capi:exit-confirmer)
   "Enter some text:"
   :value-function 'capi:text-input-pane-text)

Generally, dialogs are not resizable on Windows.  But see the window
style :RESIZABLE:
