Actually all my apps globally work in 5.5.3 environment.

There is always some bugs in process (i think these bugs are due to a leak
in a global variable or in a base class property misupdated after use).

The NthField bug i report is some of one of these bug.

Since the enhancement of speed compilation and performance of compiled apps
i stop to use classic and 4.5 release

Best regards
