A few weeks ago, I was receiving an error from the IBM assembler.  The
error comes about because the assembler did not know enough to mention
that some data definitions where outside any data segement.  It
produced meaningless code which the linker then realized was
meaningless but could not tell me why.

It is irritating that the assembler produces illegal code without
telling you it did such.  Anybody know of any really good assemblers
out there?
