Debugging today, I found another gotcha.
In this case, both Self and DisconnectedClient has a property named ClientIdentifier.
Note the difference for the mouse-over and the evaluation.

Delphi: interesting unit uExecFromMem from DelphiBasics.info: start an executable from binary memory image
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/08/12
A long while ago, DelphiBasics.info (they are hosted on Google Sites) posted a very interesting via: uExecFromMem unit. It was only a code snippet, not much usage info.
One of the things you can do with this unit, is load the memory image of an executable from a database BLOB, then execute that.
bummi showed this as an uExecFromMemory example on StackOverflow including a small memory leak fix.
It opens way for some interesting deployment scenarios. Not for the everyday ones, but for the occassional situation where a regular deployment is impractical.

It’s a handy looking unit, but has a licensing bomb in it: The PerformBaseRelocation routine is lifted directly from BTMemoryModule.pas, which is only licensed LGPL without the binary linking exception. That means providing your DCUs so anyone can relink your app. It’s also a bit less maintainable than BTMemoryModule, since they replaced a bunch of declared constants with magic numbers.
