[fpc-pascal] dynamic array contents and system.move

[Andrew Brunner]

David,

I don't see how you are not getting memory leaks by doing a move
before making sure that the destination buffer has the memory
allocated.  You see, in Delphi and FPC, move d/n actually move the
memory... It just copies it.

You were warned :-)
