The function for initializing a TRTLCriticalSection is 
InitCriticalSection, not InitializeCriticalSection. If you wouldn't use 
the Windows unit you'd have seen this error on Windows as well.

@Michael: maybe we should add a seealso for the 
Init-/Enter-/Leave-/DoneCriticalSection functions to the documentation 
of the TRTLCriticalSection type.
