Ah, but a TBitmap is just a pointer; there is no way it can know
whether it points to a valid bitmap.
There is never any reason to recreate an object, unless it has been
destroyed in between times.
If you must recreate the bitmap, be sure and match every Create with
a Free:
bitmap := TBitmap.Create;
try
{...}
finally
bitmap.Free;
end;
try
bitmap := TBitmap.Create;
{...}
finally
bitmap.Free;
end;
