hmmm. so that's one problem. I wonder if my corruption is when I am missing 
a CR in the middle of the units section.. Lazarus will die if I try and 
close a file sometimes, or if I saveall after closing it. This would 
certainly explain a lot.

I asked Mattias about that when he first found out that problem, but he 
didn't think it likely(not that its imposible, just unlikely).
