Having Read result declared as LongInt is problematic on 64 bit systems
with large streams.
Read result MUST be either PtrInt or Int64 but it cannot be LongInt.
Since you can only read 2GB (Count is a longint) in a single read operation,
it makes no sense to return a 64-bit result.
Note that the operating system only allows 2Gb reads anyway, even on 64-bit
systems.
