You may be onto something here.

I didn't know there a separate stack in the FPU.  How can I learn more
about how Free Pascal utilizes it?

Yes, but in the "real" program from which this trivial example was
derived, this is not an option.

Apparently both BP and FP use the FPU stack (if there is one) the same
way.  In this case, I'm surprised that the C version is not also subject
to the same bug.
