What I have been wondering for some time now (perhaps you wrote it in a mail and I missed it): do you use the same memory manager in the library and in your test program?

Also, beware when returning pointers. Consider this snippet:

Procedure ReturnTheAnwer: PInteger;
Var	a: Integer;
Begin
	a:= 42;
	Result:= @a;
End;

One might think at first glance that `ReturnTheAnswer^` is 42, but this is incorrect in some cases. The example here might be extremely over-simplified, but replace `a: Integer` with `mystring: String` and we're roughly at your example.
