[DGD] Fatal error when no user object returned

[Raymond Jennings]

It's easy to write an LPC layer that conforms to the DGD api, so it's
actually not that hard to avoid DGD crashing because of breaking that
API.

That, and stack overflow from infinite recursion, are the only two
cases where DGD is supposed to crash.

They are both easily preventable, and anything else is a bug that
should be reported.
