I created a brand new C++ dll project to have a clean project in bds 2006 
and noticed wacky things going on at runtime such as the global Session 
(bde) variable was not recognizing the databases in it from the calling exe 
project that loads the dll. After comparing another "clean" dll project that 
did properly have the session variable set I found that even in my new dll 
project there were strange settings in the raw project xml file (.bdsproj). 
Namely removing an entry that had libraries="xxx,xxx,xxx" where xxx where 
some random packages cause this problem. By removing that and recompiling 
session was back to normal.

FYI.. once you have a good project... back it up for reference! This problem 
happens bot6h when bds converts and even on new projects when you add in 
files to it... the project sometimes gets messed up.

Simple. Create a new C++ dll project, then I added the files that my old 
bcb6 project had in it. Compiled the dll and ran the project. It seems that 
sometimes when creating a new dll project the .bdsproj file places entries 
in the file that cause it to link the final dll so that dynamic rtl is 
ignored or corrupted. I "think" the main difference I noticed when 
win-diffing the project files
was that the bad project had:

name="libraries" value=xxx,xxx"

as an entry in it, whereas the good project files do not. Again this is just 
my guess as I observed what seemed to be different.

Interestingly a collegue of mine who newly installed bds 2006 on his system 
had the following happen. Opening the project group in bds 2006 the ide 
automatically inserted the "libraries" entry and added references to 
idectrls.bpl thus giving errors during the build process on his system, 
whereas the original code on my system does not have those items in the 
.bdsproj file in question.
