What do you mean by copy-on-write assignment (in this context)?
blead can have copy-on-write optionally compiled in, but it only copies
PVIVs (or greater) that have a string but no numeric flags set, when the
wind is in the right direction (er, or some other specific favourable
conditions, but I forget exactly what. It's quite choosy)
