Bug#9487 - myisampack segmentation violation and bus error

Fixed some casts for 64-bit systems.
Fixed a possible buffer overflow.


myisam/myisampack.c:
  Bug#9487 - myisampack segmentation violation and bus error
  Added or changed proper casts for the argument of flush_buffer().
  Added a check for the counterstrike of the trick to have
  file_buffer.end some bytes below the real end of the buffer.
