Where in the sequence of "triplets" is this triplet located, and what is the count of triplets in the record. Some records have more physical triplets, always, but only populate the first "n" for some events, more "n's" on others.
The existence of a COUNT field is the ONLY guarantee that the segment exists; the LENGTH field is now very frequently zeros in the triplet, which only means that the true length is in the first two bytes pointed to by the offset.
