The MASM command-line option /LA will show all code generated by
the high-level-language features. When the .FARDATA? directive is
used, the code generated in the listing file places the "@CurSeg ends"
statement in the wrong place.
   Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Version 5.10. We
are researching this problem and will post new information as it
becomes available.

   The following is an assembler source and listing file:

    .model small
    .fardata?
    .data
    end

    .model small
    assume cs:@code,ds:@data,ss:@data
    .fardata?
    FAR_BSS segment 'FAR_BSS'
    .data
    _DATA segment 'DATA'
    @CurSeg ends
    end
    @CurSeg ends

    first "@CurSeg ends" statement should be place before the _DATA
segment is declared.
