By the time that arrived here its formatting had been completely lost 
(as you can see above), but it doesn't look to bad in the archive 
http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/pipermail/lazarus/2013-October/084020.html 
so I'm not entirely sure what's going on.

I'd suggest using a supported compiler rather than the development one, 
i.e. 2.6.x not 2.7.x. I'd also suggest not copying around code fragments 
gratuitously, because there are plenty of ways that things can behave 
differently depending on the compiler mode.

/If/ it still fails with the supported compiler version, then give us a 
minimal compilable program that we can test, rather than just a fragment 
without context.
