Well, the WIP version is very probably compiled with debug information.
You can try to to use the STRIP.EXE utility from Free pascal distribution. Or you can try this:
1) UPX KASMAR.EXE (use UPX 4.x.y)
/the created binary will not work/

2) UPX -d KASMAR.EXE
In unpacks the binary but the debug info will be stripped out.
Now it should work again.
