[fpc-pascal] LZMA Algorithm fails on 64bit

I checked it: The old version and your code produce exactly the same value
on 64bit and 32bit. There is no difference between both results.

The problem is that no Pascal developer knows this code. It was translated
from Java code.
Can you imagine another difference between 64bit and 32bit which may cause
those error? The bitshifts result in the same value on 32bit and 64bit...
