The only problem I ever had with TP was the bug where it crashed on PCs that
were too fast, there was a patch issued for that.  That was in 1999, it
would crash on 500+ CPUs IIRC.  (Was doing Y2K work on a 20+ year old
system.  It pre-dated DOS!)

Borland have been giving TP away for free recently, I don't know what
version.  Ok, I looked it up - TP v5.5.  Nobody seems to be having problems,
so a dodgy 3rd party library perhaps?
