Summary: DO initializer produces output filled with garbage data

Initial Comment:
NASM 2.01, Windows XP

I tried to compile followed code:

do '1'

NASM produced 16 byte output file with followed data:

0000000000:  31 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 69 6E 73 74 72 75  1         instru

What is "instru"?
BTW the longer data within source code the shorter garbage, so "do '123'" will produce only "inst".
