The authors regard the csect as the basic unit of data. You're used to
thinking of records being smaller than blocks, but think of load
modules as analogous to RECFM=VBS with a small block size and a large
record size. The (large) csect is written out as multiple blocks,
separated by CTL or CTL/RLD records.
