347 :: Possible compiler bug

[2014-01-16T22:44:17+01:00]

The following code fragment:
```
type
  PCallback=proc(data:ptr)
```
causes the following error when compiled: SIGSEGV: Illegal storage access. (Attempt to read from nil?)

Using windows 8 with the latest mingw4.x and the latest 0.9.3 nimrod leeched directly from github

Should I file this as a bug?

How can a compiler crash be a "possible bug"? ;-) No need to report it, it's a well known bug and instances of it are already in the bug tracker, I'm sure.
