[Lazarus] Does closing a form hide it or free it?

[vfclists .]

I have a form I use as database dialog that looks up a list of databases to
connect to and when I close the form I expect it to be closed via caHide so
that I can reuse it with ShowModal later, but it seems to get destroyed
because Screen.FindForm doesn't locate it. The CloseAction is set to caHide.

 if FDatabasesDialog = nil then
    FDatabasesDialog :=
TDatabasesForm(Screen.FindForm(TDatabasesForm.ClassName));
  if FDatabasesDialog = nil then
    FDatabasesDialog := TDatabasesForm.Create(Application);

Is there some fault with this code?

The only reason I can think if is that it could be down to a fault in the
FindForm implementation as the Application object it still present.

It is running on a 1.5 series build on Debian Linux under Qt. I will try it
elsewhere if there are some bugs there.
