I've been looking at generic.inc file and I've seen some "-11"
ocurrences. Is it a copy/paste bug or there is a meaning for the
eleven values?
   I ask because the file contains both "if
(Count>4*sizeof(ptruint)-11)" and "if Count>4*sizeof(ptruint)-1 then".

My guess is 1 less than 3*sizeof(integer)=12

The 1 less because of > instead of >=
