My email wasn't do do with FPC so much as it was to do with how:

for i := 0 to -1 do ;

is interpreted by FPC. The loop should never happen. If it does, this is not 
correct in Borland or Delphi Pascal.

"bug" was used to describe the implied failure, not a bug in the compiler. 
After all, it could have been that the RTL saw "TList.Count" being unsigned as 
an essential necessity.However, this is not consistent with Borland's 
implementation, (at least within Delphi), which, after all, is the genus of 
the 'T' prefixed classes.
