reading over the thread and how you moved the functions to a unit for use in a 
larger program, i'm wondering if there is not an error earlier in the program 
that is not caught which then shows up at this point...

we used to see something like this all the time back in the TP days when someone 
would open a file and not check the result codes... then later on they'd get an 
error on a string or some other function... the problems were always solved by 
properly checking for errors at those stages where needed...

just my thoughts on it... especially since the smaller program still works 
properly and the same data is used in both programs...
