Thanks everyone for the explanation, and the rather convoluted
discussion of the type system, which I don't really understand.

I'd just like to add that this error bit me in a real program, and it
would be nice if OCaml detected this common case and warned about it:

  if cond then (
    ...
    raise Exn
  )
  next_stmt       <-- catastrophic failure, because this statement
                      is silently ignored

Rich.
