   to reiterate what the documentation says, $F is recognized in TP mode but   
   there is no such thing as FAR or NEAR calls in 32bit and 64bit flat memory   
   models...

   no, NEAR and FAR calls won't help with that... there is a flaw in the code   
   that leads to misalignment of the data in some instances... it is either that   
   or memory corruption which should not be happening if you are building with   
   debugging enabled...
