First, thanks for the reply; I applied the patch, it applied without a problem, verified
the new StrUtils.pp source, all OK as per the patch. Recompiled strutils.ppu. The function
still returns a zero on error.

Is there another patch I need as well?
This is fpc 2.0.0 on Linux, but at this level I don't think it should matter.

Sorry for being dense :-(

Bob
