My test program under FPC 2.6.4 doesn't give problems. It's when that
same program is compiled under FPC 3.0.0 that it does. All due to String
(and thus AnsiString) changing its encoding based on the running
environment. With FPC 2.6.4 compiled programs, no matter the environment
(UTF-8 or Latin-1), my test program behaves the same.

I give up!
