Earlier versions of osis2mod did not allow for titles to be within a  
verse. They pulled all of them out and put them at the top of the  
verse, either the current one or the next. I thought that was fixed in  
the most recent version of osis2mod.

Are you running the latest version of osis2mod? (What is the version  
number that it gives when you run it?)
