   While I'm not so familiar with US cabinet members, I can quickly think of   
   one other issue:   
      
   FPC dynamically allocates memory from the OS. This makes it dangerous to   
      rely on memavail and friends, for more than indicative purposes.  The   
      clearest reason for this is that the amount of free memory might change   
      between check for memory and the actual allocation.   
      
   Going through c.l.p.b and c.l.p.m archives might yield some more points.   
      
   What OS target do you use? While FPC abstracts the OS and CPU reasonably   
   well, it is not perfect in more remote cases where the abstraction would   
   need to change into an emulation.
