Forums for Builder have cppbuilder in their name. Try one of these in
the future for the most helpful response :^)

This is a much discussed problem. TForm already has a constructor with
that signature that is called during initialization, causing yours to
be called, causing the other to be called, etc.

The solution is to change your signature to something besides
TForm2(TComponent*, int). Perhaps TForm2(int, Component*).
