We solved this problem for Biodiverse (http://biodiverse.googlecode.co) 
by patching PAR to extract DLLs with their original names instead of 
CRCs. I'm aware that names are much more likely to crash than CRCs, so 
perhaps an option embedded into the .exe when pp builds it could choose 
between whether to use name or CRC?
