This looks like gpc-2.0, corresponding to gcc-2.7.2.x. Since those days, the GPC RTS has been practically re-written. Upgrading to gpc-19980830 (corresponding to gcc-2.8.x or EGCS) will solve your problem. Please get it from
ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/gnu-pascal/beta/ .
This release is denoted "beta" because it is constantly being worked on. In fact it is much more stable than gpc-2.0.
The next beta release will appear _really soon now_[tm], so it makes sense to watch the address above and/or the GPC mailing list. To subscribe to the list, write to gpc-request@hut.fi.
Merry Christmas,
