Package: fp-ide-3.0.0
Severity: important
The freepascal textmode IDE crashes on startup on arm64. I rebuilt it
with debug symbols enabled and got the following backtrace.

Not sure what is going wrong here. gdb tells me that P is nil and yet
there is a gaurd against that in the code. Maybe a miscompilation of
some sort?
The issue does not seem to appear with upstream trunk.
