I agree that it's a marginal case, but I did raise it in fpc-devel (4th 
October) which is where Jonas suggested a possible fix based on 
something he'd recently done.

I'm going to rebuild FPC 2.4.0 with Jonas's fix and -O-, build 0.9.28.3 
to see whether I still get an intermittent failure during compilation, 
note whether I still get a predictable failure on quitting Lazarus, and 
then move back onto 0.9.29.
