perlbal crashes

[Brad Fitzpatrick]

There should be no warnings or crashes, ever.

For now, everybody should stop using Perlbal 1.3.  It's apparently screwed
in more ways than one.  I was probably overconfident in its then-fledgling
test suite when I released it.  Future releases will go back to 1.2's
quality.
