I'm fairly sure that I used Lazarus to set breakpoints in that unit, but 
when I was working on it I'd have been using a copy in my project's 
working directory.

The patch at http://mantis.freepascal.org/view.php?id=18946 contains a 
test program that you might find useful, it's quirky but I used it 
heavily when testing the unit for Linux/Solaris/Windows.
