The line in question contains
DoubleRect(Infinity, Infinity, NegInfinity, NegInfinity)
call, so range check error makes some sense.
Still, I think it is a compiler bug, especially since an absurd
attached patch fixes it.

If FPC developers think the range check is correct,
then it should be disabled for this one line and returned to
"previous" state afterwards --
is there a way to do this?
