I've pulled this, but...

.. what an odd place to set bv_offset that is.

I'm sure it's right, but it really smells odd to set that initial
offset not when the bvec is created, but long afterwards, just before
it is used.

Is there some reason why 'bv_offset' isn't initialized when the bvec is created?
