Long version:

I have a (relatively simple) program that has been running flawlessly 24x7 the last 4 years.
[...]
The most intriguing part is that, under the test conditions, FindInvalidUTF8Character is only given pure ASCII strings, so it
should never enter the branches where it checks p[1], p[2] or p[3],
so I'm really puzzled.

Me too. Nevertheless, I fixed FindInvalidUTF8Character.

Thanks.
Meanwhile the program has been running all the week-end without hanging the system.

Well, it hanged again today, with no call to FindInvalidUTF8Character in sight. I hoped I nailed it but it was a red herring :-( Note that the version that worked through the week-end was compiled with gtk1, the one that hanged today with gtk2 (but I think that's another red herring).
I'm re-resting now the gtk1 version to see what happens.

Well, I think (though I cannot be sure until I had the system running more time) that I found a solution: I reverted the development environment to the same situation as 2 years ago (when I made the last successful modification to this program), i.e:

fpc 2.0.4 (with a couple of patches so that the ide works with gtk2 even if the final program is for gtk1)

lazarus svn 11880 (I think I used an earlier version at the time, but I couldn't determine the exact version, this one is one of the latest compiling with fpc 2.0.4 and working with the ide compiled for gtk2)

If this works (crossing fingers), I'm *not* happy with the solution, since I'd really like to know what happened to make linux hang hard using a newer fpc and a newer lazarus (I cannot say which one is the culprit). This is running on an epia board, though it's a nehemiah and it shouldn't be affected by the cmov issue (if that could be the cause of the problem, which I doubt).

Bye
