--- Comment #3 from H. Peter Anvin <hpa at zytor.com> ---
This is quite correct... unfortunately there are a large number of places in
the NASM codebase where a length is represented by a signed int32_t.

It is only relatively recently that NASM even had ways to represent sparse
files internally without blowing up (and it still will unless you are in a
nobits segment.)
