It throws an exception. How the exception is handled will vary. In an app it 
usually reaches the top and gets ignored, but sometimes it could end up calling 
abort(). I've seen a few exceptions deep in Cocoa do that lately (along with a 
rather helpful message stating that a piece of unreachable code was reached!).
