Thanks to chromatic for a quick fix in TT #1572, which involved replacing
pbc_to_exe's excessive use of concatenation with a ResizeableStringArray.
This does bring up another question, however. The old concatenation
scheme used to work; now it doesn't. (Or, more precisely, it works on
small files, but not on large ones.) Should I open a separate ticket on
the inefficiency of concatenation in the new immutable strings era, or was
pbc_to_exe's use so pathological that it's not worth worrying about?
