According to Sven Hilscher:

program Test;

var S : String(7);

begin S := 'SCHNAPS'; S := S + #48 + #48; { wow, the string expands the size - that's right? }

That's a bug: GPC is not yet able to catch range check errors like this one.

Writeln(S); Writeln(S + #48#48); { This is needed for Borland style! }

I will fix that. Thanks.

end.
