Thinking a bit more on it and looking at devproc.c and sysproc.c, the text
size is easy to get right, it's in the text segment.  The process is a
bit more problematic since the address space is sparse.  The text/data/bss are
at one end (right after an invalid page to catch null regs), the stack at the other,
and other segs anywhere in between.  The easy thing would be to say all procs are
0x7ffff000 bytes long.  That would help your get_a_record routine but wouldn't
really be very informative.  You'ld be better off reading the segment file to see what
is and isn't there than just checking a length of the mem file.
