As the author of pascalscript, I wasn't aware of this issue, however now 
I'm in a dilemma. FPC breaks things very often, and that url shows just 
one of these. If I want to fix this bug in Pascal Script, I have to undo 
the fix in 6-12 months again (or use version specific defines). I'm 
getting a bit frustrated with FPC changing things back and forward all 
the time (this isn't a new thing, this has been going on since I first 
ported it to FPC).
