Since we seem to be up against a bit of a wall in [analysis of the stack inconsistencies in bytecode for some instances of HANDLER-BIND][1], I've [changed the compiler to fall back to using hte interpreted form][2] if the stack verification fails.
To do this, I've introduced INTERNAL-COMPILER-ERROR which when signaled at any point in the compilation pass, causes PROCESS-TOPLEVEL-FORM to fall back to using the interpreted form.
In its current form, the faulty bytecode is still included in the packed FASL which as a further optimization should not be included.
