You might have trouble with "too many open files" if you set your mergeFactor too high. For example, on my Win2k, I can go up to mergeFactor=300 (or so). At 400 I get a too many open files error. Note: the default mergeFactor of 10 should give no trouble.
FYI - On my linux box, I got the 'too many open' error on mergeFactor=300 (and 200). So, I am using 100.

Is there a specific issue you feel is Windows related? Its pure Java and works the same on all supported platforms. So no real gotchas with respect to Windows.
