Maybe use parts of fpc 2.7.1 (unstable) to get app working?

Hi,

I'm using Lazarus 1.0.6, FPC 2.6.2 and get bug in bug tracker
http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=22260 fixed in FPC 2.7.1 (which
is unstable).

I was wondering what other developers do in these circumstances...

I guess could download FPC 2.7.1 and risk introducing other bugs to my
existing application(s)..

Maybe it would be better if I downloaded and installed any files
modified to fix this particular bug (if that is possible)?

Please advise, thanks...

Use the fixes branch instead of trunk, that's 2.6.2 + bugfix only, no
other bug should occur as no other feature is added

@leledumbo: of course that only works if the fix is backported from
trunk to fixes 2.6. No idea if that is the case here...

No, there are 29 web related fixes pending. But in trunk new packages
have been introduced, and it thus needs a lot of fpmake fiddling.
