Problem: loadseg doesn't record size of segment. #151

Closed sam-falvo closed 8 years ago

I need to know the size of a loaded segment in order to calculate the bounds within which to look for romtags.

A segment, then, should consist of the following header and body combination:

+0 pointer to next segment.  Currently unused, so keep this null.
+8 size of the data that follows, in bytes.

Thus, to getmem a segment of size s, you need to allocate s+16 bytes.
