With {$h+} it works.
But when having pchar I wonder why it generally is not possible to make
strings longer than 255 as it was possible in the previous compiler version.
Maybe not an answer to your question, but why do you use length?
As mentioned before by someone else: length does read a field from the
string, which does not exist in pchar (hence string can contain #0 and
pchar can not).
So why not use pos(#0, foo_pchar) ?
Of course this does not answer the question IF or WHY this has changed
