Basically it is like CBC, but instead of Xoring with ciphertext, you
xor with both plain and ciphertext.  Note that this has the
unfortunate property that you can swap blocks in the ciphertext, and
only the block between the two swapped blocks will be garbled.   V5 of
Kerberos does not use the PCBC mode, but instead uses CBC with a
checksum, which is how we should have done it in V4.
