Rémi and I confirmed that it is in fact dead code (JRuby's fault) which is 
causing a problem for ASM 4 (ASM's fault). He's looking into a fix, and I'll 
try to eliminate the dead code.

Hopefully it can be fixed in ASM soon, since the code in question is being 
generated by a particularly gnarly part of JRuby's compiler.
