It took me a while, but meanwhile I also managed to fix it, but I had to start from zero.

- Fresh checkout of lazarus
- Remove .lazarus in home dir.
- Start newly built IDE
- redo all settings, install all needed packages.

Seems stable.

Looks like something hanging from older version in source/config dir prevented the IDE from
starting.

I sent my .lazarus to Mattias so he can have a look.

I'll treat it as a major cleaning operation :)

Michael.
