Actually, I was able to reproduce this crash. It happened at the point 
of "dispose (dataprism)". I changed the memory allocation/deallocation 
calls, and all works well (with "trimax=8006000"):

procedure themain(var da: text);
var
  dataprism: ^trisquare;   (* the data structure for diana *)
begin
   getmem (dataprism, sizeof (trisquare));
   writeln(output,' trimdiana -gpc bug',version:4:2);
   writeprism(da, dataprism^);
   freemem (dataprism, sizeof (trisquare));
end;

begin
  writeln ('sizeof trisquare=', sizeof (trisquare) div 1024 div 1024, 
'mb');   
  themain(da);
end.
