If I knew I would fix it. I suspect a problem in the tabel formatting routine, something like a var that is not reinitialized. However the problem drifts, and the exception is hard to trace back to the corruption that caused it.

It does. Actually the exception is IN TCollection, but it is hard to see what goes wrong. It is like 2000 entries into the table for the letter T or so.
