[fpc-pascal] typed constants

[P Padil]

Ok I should have read the error message, the problem is with the following declaration, not the first:
const
   tprob: double = 0.020000000;
   lprob: double = tprob/1e4;

If I remove the types then it compiles, with the types it says "Error: Illegal expression” on the second declaration.
