Sorry, now I was incorrect. It does not say "internal". What I meant to 
describe is, that it gives the "fatal error"  without any extra error 
message, or without indication where or why the error happened.
That is something, that up to now, I have only seen with internal errors.

So question is should there be some other error message?

Shortened example:

program project1;
{$t+}
var
   a : array of integer;

procedure Foo(var c: array of integer);
begin
   writeln( (@c)^[1] );
   readln;
end;

begin
   SetLength(a,5);
   a[0]:= 100;
   a[1]:= 101;
   foo(a);
end.
