Problem:

The LIDT instruction should require FWORD when in fact it requires a QWORD. The .386 directive was used. The problem also exists with LGDT and for .286p.

Response:

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Version 5.00. This problem was corrected in Version 5.00a.

Call Microsoft Product Support at (206) 646-5109 and request the MASM Version 5.00a update.
