Unfortunately I don't think I'm licensed to redistribute the article
electronically.  But I don't see any sign of the lattice being bounded.  
The article describes quite a complicated method of calculating the terms
(starting from recurrences for paths where only local self-intersections /
nearest-neighbour contacts are forbidden, then subtracting terms for when
these occur at a greater distance along the path) which could well be
error-prone for higher-order terms.
