There should only be an "Ignore" button, no "Ok" button. And I don't think
that this message has anything to do with the crash. 
To fix this, I need some information:
Compiler version (ppc386 -vi) and backtrace of the crash. Please start
lazarus in gdb:

[]$ gdb lazarus
(gdb) run

When it stops type 'bt' for backtrace:

(gdb) bt

and send the backtrace to me or the list.

If the default values results in a crash, then special values will also.
