/**
 * Thrown when a classfile attribute does not follow the specified format.
 * This is an RuntimeException subclass rather than an Exception because it 
 * is very unlikely that a classfile can be read without exception (such as 
 * when the classfile is truncated or overwritten) yet have an invalid attribute.  
 * Making this an Exception would force existing client code to be updated with
 * almost no benefit in robustness to those clients.
