Now I tried CVS versions 1.9, 1.4, 1.1 of pbsdboot1.exe (uuencoded
from the webpage), and all of them fail exactly with same message:

Application pbsdboot1.exe has performed an illegal operation and will
be shut down. If the problem persists, contact the program vendor.

Program: pbsdboot1.exe
Exception: 0xc0000005
Address: 0x00000000

Notice that these are Windows CE Version 1.0 [Build 713-713], that is
not version 1.01. (Can it matter?)

Same binaries should work well under CE version 2.0 on same hardware
(tested with CVS version 1.9), but CE version 2.0 are unusable for
other reasons.
