I did'nt do a that but think I found the reason in the "with" statement.
In contrast to most other lcl components, the stuff related to TTimer and 
TProgressBar makes use of constructs like

  with (TProgressBar (Sender)) do
  begin
    ....
  end;

Both, TTimer and TProgressbar, showed undesired behaviour with the latest
compiler so I changed them to work without the "with" and everything works
fine then.

Hope this helps.

bye,

  Stefan

PS: I'll not update lazarus cvs with my changes now since I'm too tired.
    Good night.
