This routine is called from part 1 of GetTrackSegment so we update the sub-section and sub-section segment pointers when fetching a new track segment. If bit 6 of the current section's flags is set, then the track segment vectors for this section need to be generated from the curve tables (as opposed to being calculated as a straight section). When this is the case, this routine calls UpdateDataPointers to update the pointers to the next sub-section and segment along the track.
