  Whoops!  I should have looked at those load files a little more before
posting that last message.  It seems that the sizes given in the hunk_header
block do use the upper two bits for type information, even if the sizes in
the individual hunks don't.  This apparently allows the loader to go ahead
and allocate space for each hunk in the appropriate area of memory without
having to first scan the file to look at the type of each hunk.
