So when the heap is larger than half the total memory space, it
resets.
What memory model are you using?
How far up does the app start loading? 0x100? 64k?
How big is the stack?
How big is the app without the heap?
Is part of the ram reserved for system use? Bios or Video?

And why are you using a heap with asm?
