Wrapped the listener invocation a try/catch block that catches any

exception and throws a \RuntimeException.
Added a test case for the EventDispatcher.

Note:
In order to test the doDispatch method I had to use a stub EventDispatcher
with a getListeners that returned a preconfigured array. IMHO there should
be a way to inject the listeners into the EventDispatcher.
