[lazarus] Compile freezes up ??

[David Creelman]

Hi All,

Just did an update and recompile and it all worked  !!
Thanks for fixing that one.

Seems it was the TPoint issue after all and not the circular references
(though it's good to be rid of them too).

On a side note, even when the compile was failing, if it was started
from a console window it would lock up but could still be killed with ^c
without killing XWindows. So if we ever run into that kind of compile
lock up it might be useful to remember that.

It is a bit of a worry that a the compiler, a user program, could lock
up the whole machine so tightly. I run seti on my machine here and I
noticed that it was running so hot that the idle task (setiathome)
didn't even get a look in (via the system usage meter before it truly
bit the dust). Do the FPC guys know about this ?

Cheers
DC
