Does it _need_ to be imperitive ? Why can't the next statement be
conditional ? Or indeed are you implying that it will skip a
conditional statement in order to locate an imperitive one ?

I am not sure what you mean here.

The meaning was clear, it was just wrong. The term 'next sentence' is
clearly defined in the language but is not what happens.

Interesting. You say that it is unpredictable, and then attempt to
predict.

As I said the behaviour may be different depending on vendor, product,
version, compiler options. I know of several compilers that will stop
when an uncaught unsuccessful status occurs.
