I have seen this only when using Java.

Instead of a C++ assert that prints on the debug, the java implementation uses an unchecked exception.

Seeing as the exception doesn't have a compile time warning, it is easy to overlook.
If not handled, the exception will kill the main thread thus the bot, which means that one jag failure results in a dead bot.
