I was reading the thread and replying before I read the whole thread.
Indeed that installed package did do something it was not supposed to
do.

In all fairness, how are all developers supposed to know that?  Isn't
there a better way that FPC could hide such functionality (not
allowing a developer to set a RTL controlled variable they are not
supposed do). That should really be filed as a bug against FPC. They
[fpc] should rather use some singleton class with a read-only
property, or simply a function (function IsRTLMultiThreaded: boolean;)
or something, not just a global read-write variable - that's just
sloppy!
