I cut down the program a bit more to the following:

unit foo;
interface
procedure x(y:string);

implementation
procedure x(y:string);
begin
  read(y)
end;
end.

Oddly, the bug disappears when deleting "(y:string)" in the 2nd declaration.

BTW: Bill, the ReadStr is not completely the same as BP's Val. Especially,
the Err parameter is not handled like in BP, but read in as a second value.
