Hm, this should only happen if you're passing a near pointer, which
shouldn't occur with -Aluf.  Is it possible the functions involved
have explicit "near" attributes for parameters etc.?   
 
I have managed to suppress this message in the past, in situations where
SS was == DS, even though the compiler didn't know it, by using casts. 
Don't remember the details: something like a cast to a far pointer then
a cast to a near pointer.
