Is your for loop also using Iz as there are no other variables defined? If
the answer is yes, clearly the for loop will overwrite the value, set in the
first line, when it is initialised.

I have personally not come accross problems such as you have described and,
without a full code quote, it's hard to see that this is a Delphi problem or
bug.

This is not the correct group for this question as an aside.
