First of all: Always have a backup of a working lazarus executable.

You encountered a fpc bug.

Revert any have local modifications to lazarus and/or fpc (TortoiseSVN
or whatever you use).

Build lazarus clean again. If the same bug happens, do a normal build.

If this does not work: try another version of fpc.
