--- Comment #1 from C. Masloch <pushbx at ulukai.org> ---
The debugger, being quite a large project assembled all at once, did already
feature many uses of %rep blocks. I assume this is the reason that this patch
greatly reduces the memory use of the assembler even when not using the new
feature that I mentioned (_CHECKSECTION=0). Here's a comparison:

/usr/bin/time --format="%M\n" orignasm -I ../../l
macros/ -I ../../scanptab/ debug.asm
...
570216

/usr/bin/time --format="%M\n" nasm -I ../../l
macros/ -I ../../scanptab/ debug.asm
...
41896

570 MiB vs 41 MiB.

As mentioned in another bug report:
https://bugzilla.nasm.us/show_bug.cgi?id=3392774#c1

> The /usr/bin/time executable is GNU time. Its %M format code lists the maximum amount of KiB reserved to the process.
