Default What happens if I exceed 4 passengers?

According to the Engine Limitations at the Modmakers Guide to the Galaxy...

"WORLD_MAX_PASSENGERS 4 - maximum number of passengers that can be carried"

What happens if I exceed that number?
Will it make/allow me to dump some passenger on a planet?
Will it fail to generate the passenger?
Will it crash painfully to the desktop on picking up the 5th passenger?
Will it crash on universe creation when it loads the quest that could potentially generate a 5th passenger?

The reason I ask is that I've added a passenger or two to several mods I've posted or am working on currently, and I want to know if there's a danger that someone randomly getting calamb, mukamb, zorgamb, esmeralda and my one passenger is going to hang my mod.

If my new mod has 3 new passengers in it should I:
a) gut some original files to zap ps_takeyourpick
b) add a complicated web of KEYS to stop it at 4 passengers
or
c) just not worry about it because the game itself will stop the 5th one from generating, and do so without a crash
