```
stefan@stefans:~$ perl6 -e 'pir::load_bytecode("/usr/local/lib/parrot/2.2.0-devel/languages/nqp/nqp.pbc")'
Parent isn't a Class.
current instr.: 'parrot;P6metaclass;add_parent' pc 224 (runtime/parrot/library/P6object.pir:232)
called from Sub 'parrot;P6metaclass;register' pc 532 (runtime/parrot/library/P6object.pir:408)
called from Sub 'perl6;PCT;Grammar;onload' pc -1 ((unknown file):-1)
called from Sub 'perl6;PCT;__onload' pc 0 (compilers/pct/PCT.pir:18)
... call repeated 1 times
```

I'm not sure what's going on here or how to start debugging it. Austin thinks that Rakudo is redefining something somewhere, but that wouldn't explain the fact that PCT has somehow become loaded into the perl6 top level namespace. I suspect a Parrot bug somewhere.
