I was thinking at the same thing. My DCU/TPU does not have a initialization section but I know that some of those 'shell' units I use, does have one. For example ComObj does some initialization. I think there is the problem.
I compiled my exe with and without that DCU, using the MAP option and then I compared the MAP files. They were very difficult to compare (even if I used a special program) because they are very different and I didn't got any conclusion. Anyway I started to break the unit in smaller units to find out who is responsible.
