Ok, well whatever is fine with me since I don't really use the fixes 
branch. But it fixes an enormous memory leak that was caused by

if some condition then ;   // << improperly placed semicolon
  ExtractAFileToMemory;

Searching for tcontrol in lcl.chm used >200 megabytes of memory. And 
each subsequent search only increased memory usage further.
