I think the warning you see has served its purpose and can be removed,
or made conditional on dbAccessDebugPUTF. This condition is inevitable
if record support process() is allowed to return PACT=0 without
calling recGblFwdLink()

The real issue is that you should be seeing this warning both with and
without '-c'. That you do not is a symptom of dbNotify never setting PUTF.
While it wasn't immediately clear to me, dbPutField() is only used for link fields.
In other cases, the logic of dbPutField() is partially replicated in dbNotify.c
with calls to dbPut() and dbProcess().
