If you try to install a program and one of the files 
declares an unknown encoding(like 'UFT-8'),
byte-compiling the file fails and get the message, "Sorry: 
MemoryError: ()"

This message obscures the problem and makes it difficult 
to spot the problem.
In fact, it took me a while to find out that the unknown 
encoding declaration caused the trouble.

The error message needs to be more explicit.

I fixed this problem in 2.5.  I am leaving it up to Anthony
whether to backport this to 2.4 or not.
