Re: CEPB crash in PB for CE 5.0

PB is not very good about error handling in the components it executes on
startup. Some things to check include:

- Your system path. If there is something bogus here, PB may crash
- Batch files called by PB (your platform batch file, mainly). It should
only set env variables, and do nothing else
- Invalid CEC file entries
