If numberOfParameters is not 2 or 4, we log a warning and then continue. Depending on compiler version and options, this may be recognised as an impossible case or may otherwise provoke the warning that 'status' is uninitialised. Using the more forceful BUG() avoids this warning, and makes it harder to ignore incorrect usage.
