Peter, thanks for finding this bug. It's been in the code for a long time!
Found the issue.  Injection point for a new .DO file was off by 1 byte.
Release 258 should fix this.

It is posted at the REX wiki.

Would appreciate people to go and give 258 a try.  It should be the same as
254, which was the prior posted release, with this bug fix added.

I will say that I have not tested every model with every possible
configuration.  So any bug reports would be useful.

thanks
Steve
