Does texlive now provide pdfTeX-1.0?

Then please look into protcode.tex.  There you'll find sth. like

    \ifnum\pdftexversion > 13 
        \ifnum \expandafter`\pdftexrevision > `g

It obvously checks whether your version is newer than 0.14g but if you
use 1.0, it still checks whether \pdfrevision is newer than g, which
fails.

The end of the definition of \setprotcode should look like:

    \lpcode#1`\x=50
    \lpcode#1`\y=50
    \ifnum\pdftexversion > 13 
        \ifnum \expandafter`\pdftexrevision > `g
            \adjustprotcode#1
    \fi \fi
    \ifnum\pdftexversion > 99 
            \adjustprotcode#1
    \fi
}

Regards,
  Reinhard
