[net.micro.mac] Aztec C assembler bug?

wjr@utcsri.UUCP (William Rucklidge) (05/27/86)

The following program causes an error when run through the Aztec C assembler
(1.06G):

	public	_main
_main	ds.b	65530
back	ds.b	6
	blt	back

It gives a 'branch out of bounds' type error which seems to indicate that
the assembler is only using a word to hold the address and the branch across
a 64K boundary is causing it to calculate the wrong value for the branch length,
due to overflow. Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so, are there
any fixes?
