Wow, way to interpret what Thadoss said wrong ;). Anyway, had a quick snooping around the vasm package and found this:

"o m68k: New option -guess-ext makes the assembler accept a bad size extension,
as long as the instruction is unsized or there is just a single size
possible. This is the default setting for PhxAss- and Devpac-mode."

Inside the source code (again quick glances) it appears that the mentioned error indeed occurs when there's an instruction whose size is invalid (as an example moveq.w is invalid - even if devpac accepts it ;)). So I think that vasm sees the END and it assumes it's an instruction (at least END is an internal assembler instruction) and then reads the suffix which is gobbledygook and throws an error!

So anyway, maybe try the switch and see if it helps? Also maybe sending a mail to Frank to address this?
