    This is weird. This morning I installed FPC into my Debian Trixie 
installation on another partition.
I successfully compiled and ran all the demo programs !!

It seems FPC on my OpenSuse installation is broken somehow.
I have removed FPC and installed it directly from the RPM downloads
on the Free Pascal site and it suffered the same problems.
I then re-installed the OpenSuse Tumbleweed version
and suffered exactly the same problem.
I will try asking on the OpenSuse Tumbleweed mailing list, but
I fear there are not many (if any) people using Pascal there.
