Turn on Pascal's range checking and watch what happens...

I counted the errors and counted the HWNDs in my application... one error for
each window handle.

Also... as I reported, it garbles the display. I'm thinking the window handle
is *changed* by the mismatch, giving rise to the possibility of duplicate handles.

(My app is highly visual... most everything occurs on the screen.)
