That particular guy caused me a lot of grief trying to get it to compile 
on anything more then a single line. Solved the problem with an 
'interesting' use of semicolons and such. Though for why it'd cause an 
exception in delphi is beyond me, perhaps in the way the numbers are 
stored? Generally I've found it a Bad-Idea to try to mix 
assembly/intrinsics from different compilers into one project.
