Description

The key difference with this usecase is that the file length will longer than the actual module, so the real module length should be determined from the start-end address metadata, which is then used to determine the location of the module suffix info.

Research direction

No files or tests are named in the issue. Start at the module-parsing entry point and trace how a dumped memory region is interpreted, then identify how the start and end address metadata can determine the actual module length and the suffix-info location. Done means a longer dump is parsed using the real module boundaries.
