Hi,

First of all: do not feel offended! (I was not either)

You corrected my english on Testers_3.0.2 and changed :
"There is a reression that causes programs to crash when they uses SysErrorMessage and HeapTrace."
into:
"There is a reression that causes programs to crash if they use SysErrorMessage and HeapTrace."

I would like to nitpick about this (since I have a vacation and there is nothing on TV right now)
While I agree that "uses" is wring here, I disagree that "when" should be replace by "if" in this sentence.
Consider a program that contains the line

if condition then writeln(SysErrorMessage(GetLastOSError));


Now the sentence "if they use SysErrorMessage" applies, even if condition is (always) false. But the program only crashes "when" it uses SysErrorMessage.

B.t.w. you missed "reression" (as did I until now)
Feel free to correct my english in the future (and/or in this message) ;-)
