Ok, I think I understand: the BSS init does its job (or FreeDOS would not work anywhere!) but something else might overwrite nUnits. Namely by changing COUNT nUnits; to COUNT nUnits=0; the placement of the variable is changed from I_BSS to I_DATA, and there it is not touched. But I think something else overwrites nUnits, and after the change will overwrite somewhere else where it is apparently harmless, so there must be another bug somewhere. To be investigated later (I'm going to be away and offline for a week).
