The scan uses multi threading, which was broken by the installed

Indeed that installed package did do something it was not supposed to
do.
In all fairness, how are all developers supposed to know that? Isn't
there a better way that FPC could hide such functionality (not
allowing a developer to set a RTL controlled variable they are not
supposed do). That should really be filed as a bug against FPC. They
[fpc] should rather use some singleton class with a read-only
property, or simply a function (function IsRTLMultiThreaded: boolean;)
or something, not just a global read-write variable - that's just
sloppy!
You know the answer, Graeme...
But I agree that this could be done better. Keep the IsMultiThread
variable for Delphi compatibility, but use a private variable for the
real stuff and set the Delphi compatible one together with the real one
internally.
