SYMPTOMS

If the current date consists of four digits (e.g. 1/2/88),

Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) versions 5.10 and 5.10a will

produce an assembly-listing file with extra blank lines in the

page headings.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in MASM versions 5.1

and 5.1a. This problem was corrected in MASM version 6.0.

More Information:

The following assembly-listing files were generated from the same

source code. The only difference is the date on which they were

created. Note the extra blank line between the data and the page

number on the first listing.
