Thanks ;-)

This doesn't solve the issue on when this bug will be corrected, what 
path will it take, who can correct or test the correction, etc. The 
casual (would-be) contributor such as myself seems excluded and not 
really wanted. This is a perception that I have, unwillingly.

For the moment, Lazarus is enough for my prototyping, and I'm waiting 
for a stable, 1.0 version. Until then, there is no chance as a 
professional developer that I could recommend this tool, although it 
shows great promise. In the meantime, I develop a few components, 
testing such issues such as COM/DCOM and dynamic loading of libraries, 
and hoping my code has as few dependencies as possible.

I just hope for the best, and that Lazarus 1.0, stable, will come out.

Best regards,
Thierry
