Unfortunately, while the patch works for the test program that you have created (above), the problem still exists with my code, and I still get precisely the same error as before. I have been trying hard (without success) to reduce the problem to a small program, but I have no idea what to look for, or what could possibly be the matter. Perhaps it could relate to lots and lots of sub-classing?
I forgot to say: After applying the patch, you'll have to recompile all Pascal files (remove all GPIs). If this still doesn't help, I need some example code.
Are you talking about my own files, or the RTS files p/rts?
The former.
I already removed the former - to no effect.
:-(
As for example code, unless you want 30,000 lines of code, all my attempts to reduce the problem to a small program have failed.
If you really can't reduce it (by successively removing unrelated parts while the bug is still there -- that's usually more successful than guessing what the reason might be and trying to write a test from scratch), that's still better than nothing. :-/
