Hi,

the following bug occured under Delphi 2.01:

Real constants, defined in a unit, show random values at times. The
problem is very hard to track down. So far it shows up with multiple
units sharing global data. The constants show very big values (~1e300),
but if the unit with the constant definitions is recompiled, the values
show as defined. After a rebuild the constants are wrong again.

Is this a known bug?

Typed Constants are always ok as these are in fact variables. So always
use Typed Constants if you want Real constants!

-Andreas
