    Description

      javap tries to recognize and handle standard attributes, and when it can't, it uses a default representation handled by DefaultAttribute. But, in the final printout, it is not clear *why* the default representation has been used.

      Reasons include:
      -- error reading attribute data
      -- bad constant pool reference in attribute data
      -- unknown name.

      The output should indicate which of these three reasons applies.
