A quick random check on Deadcat, I see just this:

if test ! "${BBTMP}"                      # GET DEFINITIONS IF NEEDED
then
         # echo "*** LOADING BBDEF ***"
        . ${BBHOME}/etc/bbdef.sh          # INCLUDE STANDARD DEFINITIONS
Fi

Always loading "bbdef.sh" seems to be the norm, perhaps I just pick the
wrong scripts.  The empty bbdef.sh would do the trick too though. Either way
is good for me, I know how to fix it, just was thinking of future users,
some bb extensions just don't "work" out of the box as I am sure you
originally intended.
