Why this code hangs up assembler? :(

When I omit '/coff' option, the assembler is OK.

;Test.ASM

.386
.model flat,C
option casemap:none

.data?
flashrom db 1024*1024 dup (?)

.code
Start:
ret

end Start


Thank you for your reading! :)

Have a nice day!

Could be that the number 1024*1024 is rather large... 1048576... Not sure tho... But I seem to rember a thread about large buffers and MASM taking a hell of a lot of time or even hanging/dying

You are not terminating the running process.

I tried something like that with one of my programs and used a debugger to find out y it hanged and it seems that Windows Terminates the program if it returns like the way in ur code
