[Lazarus] Anyone using LCLIntf critical section routines?

[Boian Mitov]

  The callbacks are "stdcall" . The problem is confirmed to be the Delphi 
calling convention, and you seem to be right. It appears to be registers not 
being properly saved. I never had the time to investigate it on assembly 
level :-( .

  To make you laugh at me, and my stupidity, 3 years after I discovered the 
problem in Delphi after 3 days of cutting code to nail it down to problem 
with the calling convention I did the same mistake in C++ Builder where the 
same problem exists :-D . Am I stupid or what, should have known after the 
first burn, but sometimes you just forget. Now this is the first thing I 
check when I have unexpected rare crashes.

  With best regards,
    Boian Mitov
