There is a bug in the linker, somewhere.  I can't be sure, but I
had the same problem when I mixed assembler and MS 4.0.  Some of the
assembler declared variables ended up loaded over the top of the
C variables.  Some, but not all.  I gave up, and declared the problem
ones in the C portion and the problem went away.  I haven't got time
to chase down anything but the "workaround" any more.
