Right; that's clearly a bug in the source. NASM should puke at this point, why it doesn't with the optimizer on is a problem.


I found another problem of the same kind in the same sources; the label pc_comment is an EQU to pc_getline, which hasn't been defined at that point. With the optimizer on, NASM generates bad output instead of either doing the right thing or terminating with an error message.
