I am very loopy. Also, I think, tending towards being cryptic, but not deliberately. More because I'm loopy and things make perfect sense to me the way I am right now, but I can't be bothered to explain.
/me flags review-, commit -. - You don't need to CLI on each pass through the loop. - Don't use JMP SHORT on a backward jump, let the assembler figure out the offset size.
The combination of cli and a short jmp makes Windows prior to XP go crazy and die. Whatever it used to multitask, it used interrupts, and it didn't have any defense against that little script!
