Got the following compiler message:

"[Warning] Unit1.pas(46): Return value of function 'TForm1.Test' might
be undefined"

on a very simple project compiled using delphi 7.

I've read some posts that say there is a limit to the number of local
variables you can define in a function, and after exceeding that limit
may
result in erroneous compiler warnings, like the one I am seeing.

Would like to get an "official" confirmation on this limitation in
delphi 7 compiler.

If anyone can point me at to a Borland bug report, tech note, etc., 
describing this, I would appreciate it.  Thanks.
