Yes, well GetMem is a very fundamental procedure.  I mean, the VCL is full
of calls to GetMem - Delphi would really fall apart without it (no dynamic
array usage would be safe, for example).  Obviously you have to watch your
step when using it, but if I'd had the number of problems that (I infer)
you've had with it, then I'd suspect that that there was a corrupt version
of borlandmm.dll being propagated around.  Might that be a possibility?

Cheers,
Carl
