+     *  When a broken receiver is passed to the first execution of an invokeinterface
+     * bytecode, the illegal access is detected before the effects of resolution are
+     * cached for later use, and so repeated calls with a broken receiver will always
+     * throw the correct error.
+     *
+     * If, however, a good receiver is passed to the invokeinterface, the effects of
+     * resolution will be successfully cached.  A subsequent execution with a broken
+     * receiver will reuse the cached information, skip the detailed resolution work,
+     * and instead encounter a null pointer.  By convention, that is the encoding for a
+     * missing abstract method, and an AbstractMethodError is thrown -- not the expected
+     * IllegalAccessError.
