--- Comment #3 from H. Peter Anvin <hpa at zytor.com> ---
72(FF) means it will get fixed up at link time (the binary format is just a
linker built into NASM itself!)

However, if I'm reading your code correctly the branch is located at address
0x19ea and the target at 0x2cff; this is obviously impossible as a short jump,
and after relocation it becomes 77 13, which is a truncated version of the
proper offset (0x1313). The real problem here is that there isn't a warning on
an unreachable offset encountered during linking.
