Warning:
When I tried Corba interface delegation to an interface property with FPC 
trunk and MSEgui this week I got SIGSEGV's. I made no bug report because I 
was not able to reproduce the problem with a simple test program up to now, I 
am still investigating.

There are no patches necessary for FPC 2.4 and 2.4.1. MSEide+MSEgui always 
worked with unpatched FPC releases. The provided patches for older releases 
were for user convenience only in order to spare workarounds.
