Second thought, second try: I guess you've linked several files together.
The linker puts the DSEG areas together. This apparently consumes the space
up to 0055. After the DSEG area the linker appends the SSEG area. This is
what you requested with --stack after data. The space between 004D and 0055
is occupied by another module. Please check the other rst-files and your
map-file.
