That is what I meant to convey. "In-section offset" seems to mean something
else for you than what I intended. I meant a non-scalar (to-be-relocated) value
with a certain offset from the section's base. (This offset can be seen in the
relocation entry emitted in the listing file's opcode section.)

> NASM 2.12.02 was buggy and would always warn in this case, but that is not correct as this is the responsibility of the linker.

But note that it did not warn for the cases with the "scalar part of the label"
being less than 100h. So it doesn't "always warn".

> I have checked in your test case as test/binoverflow.bin. I don't think this will be addressed for 2.15.00, but at least it is recorded and should be fixed in the future.

Cool, thanks!
