This looks like a compiler bug, I'd suggest to enter this into
the bugs repository on our WWW pages. Please, check what level of
optimizations have you set (-O???? parameters) and whether it
happens with all optimizations turned off as well (-O-), and add
this information to your bug report.

I cannot reproduce this one myself. What operating system are you
running on (plain DOS, WinXX, ...)? Can you give more exact
procedure how to reproduce it, please? I created two new files,
typed your source into one and nonsense statement (begin xxx
end.) into the other, then tried to compile the second one, got a
compiler error, switched to the first one and compiled without
any problems. Then I typed a nonsense letter within your source,
tried to compile it (and got an error, of course), reverted my
change and compiled again, again no problems at all.

Thanks

Tomas
