TThread.Synchronize support has been announced as a new feature on FPC 1.9.6 See: ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/beta/whatsnew.txt > > Another issue: CheckSynchronize has in Kylix3 an optional parameter > > (Timeout: Integer = 0), not available in FPC. > > Which is, I think, ignored and only there for windows compatibility.

It sleeps the given amount of time (in milliseconds) except if there is a pending synchronize call already waiting. I also understand that only documented features should be implemented for compatibility, and I can live without this feature.
