For those following along at home:

|   /* Binds and unbinds are supposed to be compiled balanced.  */
|   if (SPECPDL_INDEX () != count)
| #ifdef BYTE_CODE_SAFE
|     error ("binding stack not balanced (serious byte compiler bug)");
| #else
|     abort ();
| #endif

I'm curious to know: if the error is recoverable, why abort?
The BYTE_CODE_SAFE branch certainly seems to suggest that it is
recoverable...
