Looks like an processor error. - Switching to protected mode sometimes causes
trouble, if waitstates are too low or cyclerate settings are too high. Try to compile
it on an other computer (if you want, send it to me, I will try it). If this doesn't fix
the problem, it could even be, that this is a bug in the assembler. I know, that it
sometimes gets problems, if the resulting file is greater than 32K.
