Thank you for reporting this.

Note that the values above do make sense. They are multiples 0x100, a valid 
value of sector size. Moreover, the positions and sizes of the mapfile 
blocks are not required to be multiples of the sector size.

Note also that the 'current_pos' (0x142D3A80000) is in the middle of the 
mapfile, indicating that ddrescue was already run on this mapfile before.

Maybe the user ran ddrescue previously with a --sector-size of 0x100.

Best regards,
Antonio.
