[biblio] the 'bug' mystery of the disappearing 'V.' as third initial

Dear BibTex experts

I ran into a problem - I think it is a bug - somewhere.

My name is Michel R. V. Chaudron - mostly I use this form of my name with
my first name spelled out and then the initials of my middle names 'R.V.'
and then my lastname ('Chaudron') - and sometimes as 'M.R.V. Chaudron'
-only using my initials.

In many papers - both authored by myself or by others - my name appears as
'M.R. Chaudron' - hence my third initial 'V.' has disappeared.

This is undesirable for me because these style of citations are not always
correctly accounted to me. Hence I am wondering if there is some 'hidden'
logic somewhere in the way that bibtex-references are processed where this
initial is either forgotten or removed - maybe because (La)Tex/Bibtex
suspects this 'V' represents a 'van' (which is common in Dutch and German
names).

I hope you can help find out where this glitch originates from and then
solve it.

regards
  Michel R. V. Chaudron
