PBC disassemble complains about encoding or flat out segfaults when dealing with large PBC files. Good choices are perl6.pbc from rakudo, nqp-rx.pbc, etc
```
> /home/pitr/parrot-trunk/bin/pbc_disassemble perl6.pbc
zsh: segmentation fault /home/pitr/parrot-trunk/bin/pbc_disassemble perl6.pbc
```
```
> ./pbc_disassemble parrot-nqp.pbc
...
