Just an off the cuff guess, but wouldn't there need to be
additional segmentation information?
Last time I hacked in 8086 Assembler (Has it been a year already?)
I seem to recall all of this stuff about groups, segments, and so on.

I'd check it out with Intel, but I'm sure there were some mods
to the HEX format for all of those goodies.
