Its makes a copy of the relocations that apply to that particular chunk.  They are used later in calcRelocations, but I imagine they could be merged.

(BTW, We are considering moving to a model where relocations would be stored on a per-chunk, rather than per section basis, to avoid this linear search, which seems rather pointless).
