Hi everyone,

I am using NASM on a Linux computer with the Intel x86 syntax.

The problem I am having is that I cannot use a string I declare as an initialized constant more than once.

For example,

section .data

     notDone: db 'Loop not finished.', 0Ah
     nDLength: equ$-notDone

section .text

;loop for checking to see if a number is equal to 0
;if not, print the "notDone" string using the standard
;output

As one can see, I am looping until a number is 0, and while the number is not zero, I am printing the "notDone" string.

Whenever I do this, however, I get a segmentation fault. If I declare the same string with different identifiers, then the code works fine, but I need ten times more code (variables, functions, etc.)

Any help is greatly appreciated.

My bad on the repost
