i don't know much about this topic but i recently downloaded nasm
(unfortunately i cannot remember the location right now but if you
search the mail archives, you should be able to find it). anyway, nasm
can produce win32 coff format files. however, and i think this is the
relevant part for your problem, the documentation states that win32 coff
format is a _variant_ of the standard coff format. apparently it has a
number of ms extensions etc. so, if you are generating win32 coff files
with masm, that might be your problem.

in any case, you might want to give nasm a try. it _is_ an early release
but seems to work ok. but bear in mind that i am new to intel assembler.

anyway, hope this helps.
