Yes, but it is better to let the compiler do the work:
p^:=PNode(tv.Selected.Data)^;

All this has the same answer:
When you mess up the heap you get results depending on the current
memory, which depends on lots of stuff. The results
can vary from host to host and might not even be the same on each run.
In other words: random.
Windows and Linux have different approaches how to initialize memory,
so you see differences more likely.
