Sounds like an endless loop.
Normally you can start the IDE in gdb, and when it happens, switch to  
the terminal, where you started gdb and press Ctrl+C to pause the IDE.  
Then create a backtrace.

I guess the unit belongs to your project, right?
(that means: not to a package)

Make sure,
1. the unit directory is in the "Other unit files" (Compiler Options /  
Paths). Check for the right upper/lowercase.
2. the directory of the include file is in the "Include Files"  
(Compiler Options / Paths). Check for the right upper/lowercase.
3. The include directive has the right case of upper/lower letters OR  
the include file is lower case on disk.
4. If the include file has the ending .inc this must be added to the  
include directive as well.

Can you send me a reduced version in private mail?

Thanks.
