There is a bug in 1.6.0 and earlier, where the parameter to "-B" is ignored.
The next release will contain a fix for this bug. Unfortunately I have been very short of time over the past several months and so have not got around to releasing the fix. I aim to release a new version of PV by the end of this month.
