Because I wish to support large stand-alone
programs (because I want them to be able
to be C programs that link in the C library),
I place the program on a different track, ie
head 1 instead of head 0, rather than what
is more normal which is to store the
stand-alone program at the end of cylinder
0 head 0.

The current logic seems to continue on
from offset 18452, expecting the first
block to have already been loaded.

I think instead it should reread the first
record, with a length of 32767, for the
purposes of finding out how long it
really is.
