That's what I thought, and what I did to start with. It didn't work, so
I assumed my reasoning was incorrect. The attachment gives an example of
what happens...

So, is this a DefMod bug, or doesn't it quite work in the way we
thought? Otherwise, I'd be inclined to revert to plan A; it doesn't seem
to do any harm (unless you know better?). 

In any case, having BPutV -> bput_v would break the interface ;-(

OK, Tom's sent me a patch to DefMod. Fixed.
