BUG: ML Uses DGROUP in Flat Model and Generates A2006

SYMPTOMS

The assembler uses the DGROUP symbol to load the DS register with a data segment value in the prolog code, even in a flat-model program. This causes the assembler to generate "error A2006: Undefined symbol: DGROUP" because groups are not supported in flat-model code.

This behavior is demonstrated through the following procedure definition and generated prolog code, both from the listing file:

   MyProc   proc <loadds> word_val:WORD

   ;   push    bp
   ;   mov     bp, sp
   ;   push    ds
   ;   mov     ax, DGROUP
   ;   mov     ds, ax

       ret
   MyProc   endp
