According to Andreas Eckleder:

(* Du meinst: "current" version? ;*)  Obviously not - see below.

This was a but in some old alpha versions of GPC which is fixed now.
The current version is gpc-970420 (see my signature).

BTW, the GPI file format changes with (almost) each version, so please
recompile your units after upgrading.

(* That's what alpha versions are for:  To find all bugs before releasing
it to the public. :*)

Please try again with gpc-970420 - or with gpc-9705?? ... perhaps this
weekend ...
