Thanks, this showed me the right direction.

Explanation: I'm trying to port code from Turbo Pascal. There 
word1-word2 does wrap around with {$Q-}{$R+}. And dec(word1) never 
checks for overflow, even with {$Q+}{$R+}.

FreePascal seems to have a wider definition of Range Check, and the 
inc() and dec() functions do check for overflow.

The longint trick prevents runtime error 201, but causes runtime error 
215 if the longword value does not fit into longint.

On closer look this is all behaving like documented, just different from 
TurboPascal (maybe it would have worked in TP-compatibility-mode).

The correct fix is to simply add {$R-} to the code wherever it currently 
has {$Q-}. I have just done this, and now it passes the test.
