Thanks Sid, I've verified it is using System.FilePos.
Perhaps it is a file system corruption. I'm hoping to get a hold of the 40MB file to check it here. But I think I'll just trap the error using try/except.

Second thought is to see if FilePos() is multiply defined, change it to system.FilePos() to force it to go to the system unit. If neither of these, very curious, post the code so we can take a look.
