Further to this mystery:
If I remove LazSerialPort from the dependencies and instead put
SdpoSerialLaz there instead it also solves the problem:
- Program builds fine
- Program does not crash when the read thread is created.

But remove this so the only dependency is LCL then the program builds
but crashes when the read thread is created after the serial port has
been opened.
