Form won't open in editor
lazarus / 1-Linux

I'm redoing from scratch a database application I did in Delphi some
time ago to learn lazarus.  I have a main form with a Notebook and 6
pages.  There are 2 or 3 groupboxes on each page.  All was going well
until one time I start Lazarus and the form wouldn't load in the
editor, the form.lfm would show but that was it.  After a while
experimenting with things I found that adding a TLabel to a groupbox
had caused the problem. I removed the TLAbels from the .lfm and I
could load the form in the editor again.

Starting Lazarus from a command line the last lines when the form
works OK are:

TMainIDE.DoLoadLFM A /home/don/LazarusDevel/Storage2/custform.pas
IsPartOfProject=True
SUCCESS: streaming lfm="/home/don/LazarusDevel/Storage2/custform.lfm"

After adding a TLabel and starting Lazarus from command line I get:

TMainIDE.DoLoadLFM A /home/don/LazarusDevel/Storage2/custform.pas
IsPartOfProject=True

plus a whole bunch more errors.

This is on Suse10.1 on AMD platform - on my Suse10.1 Intel based
laptop it works OK but on the laptop I have MySQL errors - that's
another story.

Any ideas?

Using today's source, lazarus-0.9.17-20060722-src.zip, has cured the
problem.  As the daily warning says, Beware.
