Just in case the error is hard to find, there's a simple workaround:


@@l1_:  jns     @@l1            ;(clears bit 3 of DL, tests sign of DH)

;--- since the directory's size has been increased already when this code
;--- is reached, it might be sufficient to just restart the command???
        jmp make_free_dirent_space
if 0
        call    Calc_Next_Cluster       ;there was no room for the longname
        jc      mfde_retx               ; so need to point to the new cluster
        call    _set_cur
        mov     bx,[Sektorp]
        jmp     @@l1_           ;Calc_Next_Cluster will clear sign
endif


It works, AFAICS, and since this situation occurs not too often ... I'm no purist :-P
