nasm_bug.asm

Some opcodes allow byte immediate's when they value is -128 to 127.  However,
if that value is defined with arithmetic, the assembler picks the larger size. 
See the following example:

$ cat nasm_bug.asm     
  bits 16
  org 0x100
segment .text
  jmp @end_data
  val1: dw 0x1234
@end_data:
  fild word [si + 0x2]
  fild word [si + val1 - 0x100]
  ret

$ ndisasm -b16 nasm_bug.com
00000000  EB02              jmp short 0x4
00000002  3412              xor al,0x12
00000004  DF4402            fild word [si+0x2]
00000007  DF840200          fild word [si+0x2]
0000000B  C3                ret
