I found the AV problem - it seems that the ONCLOSE event is firing
twice?  Just a guess.

I commented out all of the scrolling label code and it still crashed. 
It was freeing the TPixMap twice.  When I changed the ONCLOSE to have:

     if FPixMap <> nil then begin
        FPixMap.Free;
        FPixMap := nil;
     end;

it stopped crashing.
