Please make minimal examples in a few lines, and add them to the bugtracker.

To Marco and Jeppe:
As for 2 examples:
res := PosEx(mypchar,'NEEDLE',35) ;
res := Copy (mypchar, 10,15) ;
What are the byte boundaries here?
Zero Based from the pointer?
1 Based from the pointer?
As far as behavior, it would throw the program in unstable land over
time and gdb
would show

These are not examples. These are snippets. Examples I can compile and
debug.

Oops, those parameters for Posex were backwards:

Under Linux using Lazarus 1.0.8/Fpc 2.6.2/Fedora 14 x64:
it seems like mixing Ansistrings and Pchars on certain run time

I just spent HOURs, trying to see why I was not getting good program
