The original error message is "Line too long". If you don't see a line
that is too long, then you probably hit a Masm bug.
There is a long-standing bug in Masm 6.11 which generates error A2039
for no reason. It's a bug in the parser that they cannot repro easily
(but of course, we can repro it just fine). The workaround is to
insert comments and/or blank lines before the line where the parser
eventually chokes.
This is the reason for all the comments you see in source code that read
; Add unnecessary comment for MASM bug.
; This comment line works around a masm bug.
; This is a bogus comment because MASM is stupid and currently will
; not assemble this file without it.
; comment for masm 6.11 cause its a butthead
; comment to make masm happy
You can use one of the above, or make up one of your own. Be creative!
