Unable to reproduce.

I can reproduce this very easily (with Update 2 installed):

- Open existing Win32 project
- Open unit of choice and insert a couple of lines of code

Delphi crashes with the reported error message, though the mentioned line number in the error varies (I've seen line numbers 314 and 315). I haven't been able to write more than 3 lines of code.

Interesting note: restarting Delphi 2005 after the crash, it's no longer possible to start  a new Win32 VCL forms project. Selecting the appropriate item from the File | New menu (or from the New items-dialog) freezes Delphi (CPU load 100%)

The same error here. After adding a few lines into a Win32 project in Delphi 2005, and it gives the same error with the line number 315. (assertion failes: amount >= dest-startDest, file .\ak_flbuf.cpp line 315)

Also have the following:

Access violation at address 4200CB3B in module boreditu.dll. read 159296F8
