Possible issue with gnugettext.pas #237
Description
In \PascalCoin\src\libraries\gnugettext.pas line 1424:
function utf8decode (s:RawByteString):UnicodeString; {$ifdef dx_has_Inline}inline;{$endif}
begin
Result:=UTF8ToWideString(s);
end;
The call to UTF8ToWideString(s); may have to be replaced with: UTF8ToUnicodeString(s);
This may solve problems with this library, untested, but worth a try.

A newer version of gnugettext.pas is available here, it also applied the fix mentioned above:
https://sourceforge.net/p/dxgettext/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/dxgettext/sample/gnugettext.pas
This newer version could be tried as well to see if it fixes any exception errors on shutdown.

FYI: The gnugettext in pascalcoin repository has been changed to include latests fpc/lazarus changes as only the delphi part of gnugettext was maintained. Updated sources were send to maintainer at sourceforge but never any reply. Could be therefore that the sourceforge version will not compile at all with fpc/lazarus.

{$IFDEF UNICODE}
function utf8decode (s:RawByteString):UnicodeString; {$ifdef dx_has_Inline}inline;{$endif}
begin
Result:=UTF8ToUnicodeString(s);
end;
{$endif}
UNICODE is not defined, therefore this fix won't work unless UNICODE is defined somewhere. Not sure if PascalCoin or the original file was like that. A bit strange.
Strangely enough this line of code is never executed, call me confused, could have sworn it gets called somewhere, probably somewhere outside a unit, maybe in a different configuration, not sure, giving up on this for now.
