This works fine for me, meaning it never did not want to run. But I 
hardly use it.

make-lw-console.lisp:

(in-package "CL-USER")
(load-all-patches)
(save-image "~/lw-console"
             :console t
             :multiprocessing t
             :environment nil)

command line:

lispworks-6-0-0-x86-win32.exe -build make-lw-console.lisp

That did the trick.  It's now been two days and I haven't had to rebuild
my image.
