Hi John...

I'm not sure whether the try block itself becomes empty, but the trap
gets removed from the list of traps, but the code in the catch block
doesn't.

I've managed to reproduce the bug without abc, in a Jimple file. If you
run Soot with -O on the attached NewSwitch2.jimple, you will see the
Negative stack height message. The reason is that the optimized Jimple
contains the following piece of code:

     label2:
        r3 := @caughtexception;
        r6 = staticinvoke <FFDC2: FFDC2 aspectOf()>();
        virtualinvoke r6.<FFDC2: void afterThrowing$0(java.lang.Throwable)>(r3);
        throw r3;

        r2 := @caughtexception;
        r5 = staticinvoke <FFDC2: FFDC2 aspectOf()>();
        virtualinvoke r5.<FFDC2: void afterThrowing$0(java.lang.Throwable)>(r2);
        throw r2;

Note that the r2 := @caughtexception has no label and is not the target
of any trap (the trap that it was the target of has been removed).

Also interesting is that jop runs the UnreachableCodeEliminator twice.
If you change it to run it a third time, it gets rid of the unreachable
handler, and everything works. But I don't think increasing the number
of times it runs each time is a reliable solution.
