hummm... possible, i suppose... so i test...

i changed from

   startlazarus --debug-log=lazdbg1.log

to

   lazarus --debug-log=lazdbg1.log


and behold!


TMainIDE.ParseCmdLineOptions:
   PrimaryConfigPath="C:\Documents and Settings\e3br42x1\Local 
Settings\Application Data\lazarus"
   SecondaryConfigPath="C:\freepascal\laz"


so it does look like startlazarus is possibly holding onto the file too long... 
i see now why those two spaces are on the secondaryconfigpath line, too :)

but it is missing the line

   Adding "--debug-log=lazdbg1.log" as a parameter

which i suppose startlazarus is writing... shouldn't lazarus report its command 
line parameters? this in addition to or in lieu of startlazarus reporting them 
in the same log?
