SYSTEM_HAS_FEATURE_MONITOR seems to be on by default - I never explicitly turned it on, so it probably is the default.

Turning SYSTEM_HAS_FEATURE_MONITOR off may be a good way to show that this is the problem and a short term workaround, but if you are providing source code that you expect to be widely used then you probably need to fix the issue with SYSTEM_HAS_FEATURE_MONITOR turned on.

Supplementing my point below, I went back and checked my notes. The TObject layout post 3.2 (in my copy of trunk) is now

       TObject = class
       {$IFDEF SYSTEM_HAS_FEATURE_MONITOR}
       strict private
          _MonitorData : Pointer;
       private
          function SetMonitorData(aData,aCheckOld : Pointer) : Pointer; inline;
          function GetMonitorData: Pointer; inline;
       {$ENDIF}
       protected
          function GetDisposed : Boolean; inline;
          Property Disposed : Boolean Read GetDisposed;
       public

with everything before "public" having been added. The big change is the addition of "_MonitorData". This bumps the offset of all later fields up by sizeof(pointer). If you have code that makes assumptions about the object layout - and this very much applies to code that tries to import an object from C++ then your previous assumptions are invalid.

Is SYSTEM_HAS_FEATURE_MONITOR defined by default in the build process ? I assume, the compiler can be built without it ?
