            Bug ID: 3392827
           Summary: 'pops' bug for example: pops ds makes an opcode 3Eh
                    instead of giving syntax error about 'pop' inst.
           Product: NASM
           Version: 2.15.xx
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: OPEN
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: Assembler

     Obtained from: Binary from nasm.us

When I was writing 
push cs
pop ds

opcode: 0Eh, 1Fh respectievly

mistakenly i have written

push cs   - 0Eh
pops ds   - 3Eh !!! 

NASM puts 3Eh opcode instead of 1Fh for pops ds)

Correct response from assembler would be 'syntax error' message to user
(stderr) with line number of 'pops ds' wrong instruction.

NASM (v2.15) doesnt give error message for that...
command:
nasm iosys5.s -l iosys5.txt -o IO.SYS -Z error.txt
(16 bit code.)

error.txt is empty... (so, we know/think binary/output file is ready to use)

Listing: (IO.SYS loader section)
