   because the range is a signed byte (+127..-128) and because MASM don't   
   know about long CC-instructions (perhaps it knows with hint "long"):   
      
   0F 8x 43 21  jmp cc rel+4+2143   
      
   versus short:   
   7x 12        jmp cc rel+2+12   
      
   both variants use signed values relative to the address after the jump.
