If the bad bytecode isn't caught by a verifier then it will cause Undefined Behaviour of the VM - the Java stack frame will underflow, which is supposed to be impossible. When we encountered this problem Wonka actually threw a VirtualMachineError, but it could as well have segfaulted or caused foreign objects to fly out of Mark's ear.
