Verifier Exception

I got following exception while verifying a class:
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

    at 
org.apache.bcel.verifier.structurals.LocalVariables.set(LocalVariables.java:125)

    at 
org.apache.bcel.verifier.structurals.Pass3bVerifier.do_verify(Pass3bVerifier.java:328)

    at org.apache.bcel.verifier.PassVerifier.verify(PassVerifier.java:108)

    at org.apache.bcel.verifier.Verifier.main(Verifier.java:263)

    at myClass.main(MyClass.java:169)

As one can see, it is thrown during pass 3b. The problem was that the 
method being verified had declared less local variables (0) than 
actually used (1).
Actually there is no workaround: the verified method was broken, and the 
problem must be reported instead of throwing exception.
I am using BCEL 5.0.

Hope this Help
