MS-DOS scans the entire area that's searched to find a first fit match. lDOS would end the search on the first match instead. If COMPAT=NOCOLLECTALLMCBS is in use, and first fit is used, then lDOS wouldn't collect free MCBs after the first match.
Fixed in hg 40d161fcdc6d on 2026-05-06. Nearby changesets change the scan code some more.
