I suspect the compiler because from the symptoms it sounds like compiling the default code does not produce an identical .hex file.
A couple of possible reasons this could be happening are:
  • The wrong PIC has been specified and the compiler is producing a .hex for a different model
  • The complier is the wrong one
  • The linker file is incorrect
