I didn't check the size, but it works here.  I checked in real-mode
MS-DOS v7.10 and Windows SE DOS console.  I don't have 6.22.

Most versions of NASM I have generated the same error on lines
40 and 41 as listed in your source:

   ; warning: word data exceeds bounds

0.98.39 generated this warning on lines 39 and 42 instead.
NASM versions 2.06rc8 and 2.08rc9 don't generate any warnings.
