 An interesting fact is that many (most?) PNP
 BJTs actually have quite high Veb breakdown
 voltages.  They may not say so on the specs,
 but when you measure them, you discover this
 is true.  Consider, as an example, the LM339
 comparator's PNP input transistors, Q2 and Q3. 
 They can handle 36 volts of reverse biasing.
