Comment:
If a newer parrot cannot read a PBC generated by an older parrot, there
should be a PBC_COMPAT difference, which can and should be identified and
raise a better error.
Either there was a change that didn't get an appropriate bump, or we're
not looking at the PBC_COMPAT number early enough in the pbc decoder.
Can you submit the revs of both the compile-time and run-time parrots? If
the old parrot is no longer available (and you don't remember the rev),
the first couple hundred bytes of the PBC hexdumped might also be useable.
