Can't you copuy the TTextStyle declaration (and dependants) into a test

I don't think it's a simple alignment problem. I've just spent a few hours
eliminating the attractive heresy that somebody had slipped in a reserved word
"Alignment" that was screwing things, and am now looking at an apparent
situation where CPU state is in a mess on entry to TCustomStringGrid.Create
with a bus error very shortly after- however I don't know gdb well enough to
be able to look at things in detail.
I'm reminded of the problem in gtkwinapiwindow.pp that I fixed a week ago by
inserting a DebugLn() in front of the suspect code. That was with 2.0.4 and
0.9.22, I checked earlier and I didn't have to apply the same hack this time
to get it working.
Does anybody know what the current situation is with regards to automated
tests for FPC and Lazarus? I tried the FPC tests earlier and while on x86 they
completed and appeared to give me sensible results (although not being an FPC
guru I don't know whether they were the /right/ sensible results :-) but on
SPARC they bombed early on- I interpreted that as bad maintenance of the test
suite.
