Indeed, but why not warn about it. The JVM does this by checking that
the bytecodes are wellformed during its bytecode verification stage
(before it runs the bytecode). It does some simple checks to see if
the bytecode is doing reasonable things (no halting problem here, move
along). Something for later, perhaps.
