Looking at the results of the StringMessageTable function and looking at the 
contents of the TMsgStrTable record, the name member seems to point to the 
wrong data, sometimes it contains the name of a declared procedure, sometimes 
it appears to be be binary data. I am assuming that these records are not 
being constructed properly by the compiler.

from objpash.inc

type TMsgStrTable = record


  name: PShortString;
  
Message name
  method: pointer;
  
Method to call
end;
