>Description:
Large records when printed in GDB will seg fault.
>How-To-Repeat:
The biggest test is to download FPC from www.freepascal.org. COmpile it with debug options on, and break and break anywhere where you can print symtablestack. You must print it using symtablestack^ ... every time this will cause a seg fault even though it will contain good data.
