Thank you to Michalis Kamburelis...

clipped this down (and still too long)...

Yes the integer sizes were confirmed = 32 (win32 gui) and the export was 
added simply attempting to force a change in memory allocation, along with 
pre-initializing variables.  Among other things, Delphi mode was tried and 
we boiled the problem down to two lines of code in particular, commented 
below.  As well, we hand converted the Pascal app to C, in order to test the 
C_wrapper, compiled on GCC and the same calling conventions and methods work 
fine in C-GCC, but fail in Pascal.  VERY ODD. Wrapper works fine.

Review:
//------------------------------
PROBLEM IS BELOW and either comment line removed, will crash = RT217...
I suspect the problem is pointer "quote", somehow is crashing registers.

FUNCITON HEADER:
function SetL1Callback(func_addr : pointer) : integer; stdcall; external 
'DasRapper.dll' name 'SetL1Callback';
 >>>>> where SetL1Callback(@L1_Callback); is set in the pascal main 
area.<<<<<

FUNCTION CALL TO WRAPPER
function L1_Callback(quote : pointer) : integer; stdcall;
var
    bid_price : double = 0.0;
    s : ansistring = '';
begin
    SendMessage(listbox, LB_ADDSTRING, 0, longint(pchar('L1 Callback')));
    SendMessage(listbox, LB_ADDSTRING, 0, longint(Get_secsym(quote)));
    bid_price := Get_l1_BidPrice(quote);

    //s := FloatToStr(bid_price); // This will crash!
    //SendMessage(listbox, LB_ADDSTRING, 0, longint(pchar(@s)));
end;

//------------------------------------
PASCAL WRAPPER function being called is below

DllExport void SetL1Callback(TL1Callback p) { DasApi.m_pL1Callback=p; };

SUMMARY:
There  seems to be nothing I can find that would cause a Runtime 217 in the 
layout and now finding C conversion of same is working.

Can anyone else please confirm if this should work, or is a bug report be in 
order??

Thanks to all, whoever may have additional ideas.     Mike
