If I set {$F-} then the TP error will not be generated, but the program gets
stuck. However, if I set {$F+}, the procedure error will be executed normally,
but a TP error will still be generated. It's really weird.
It happens to me once in a while when everything looks right and the program
doesn't do what it's supposed to do.
