since compiling Lazarus takes nearly 8 minutes on my machine, I ripped 
off the affected lines and compiled them with fpc 2.6.0 directly.

program test;
{$mode objfpc}{$H+}
uses SysUtils, Classes, Lazutf8Classes;

var
    sl: TStringListUTF8;
    // sl: TStringList;

begin
    sl:=TStringListUTF8.Create;
    // sl:= TStringList.Create;
    sl.LoadFromFile('version.inc'); // BOM marked

    if sl.Count = 0 then begin
       // Terminates here, when TStringListUTF8 is used.
       Writeln('sl.Count=0');
       exit;
    end;

    if sl[0] = '' then begin
       Writeln('sl[0]=');
       exit;
    end;

    if sl[0][1]<>'''' then begin
       // Terminates here, when TStringList is used.
       // ok, since first character is #$EF
       Writeln('sl[0][1]<>');
       exit;
    end;

    Writeln(sl.strings[0]);
end.

The problem seems to be, that LoadFromFile does not load the stringlist.
sl.Count is zero in my case. If I use TStringList, the result is as 
expected.

Regards, Bernd.
