For starters, there are control or control/RLD records between the
text records.

No it isn't. Further, even if you revised the code to remove the
control and control/RLD records, you'd still have to deal with gaps.
The only bulletproof way to do it is to pre-allocate a variable to the
size of the module and to overlay each text record on it, at the
proper offset.
