I would like to reserve a chunk of memory for a buffer in assembly
similar to this:

	.data
_ExampleBuffer:
	.align 4
	.fill  100000, 1, 0

This works fine, but the executable size goes up 100k!  I think
maybe '.comm', '.lcomm', or '.space' might do the trick, but I
would rather know the right way now rather than messing things
up when I blank the buffer and spend time trying to find 
unrelated bugs.

TIA,
Scott
