_GUICtrlRichEdit_Create blocking syntax error reporting while in SciTE

[SPiff59]

Executing the following from within SciTE will not generate a syntax error. Instead, the script will hang indefinitely between the first Msgbox() and the second. A compiled version of the script will error out and terminate properly, so the issue occurs only when launching from within SciTE.

#include <GuiRichEdit.au3>
Global $hRichEdit, $Array[2][2]

$GUI = GUICreate("", 200, 200)
$hRichEdit = _GUICtrlRichEdit_Create($GUI, "", 10, 10, 180, 180)
MsgBox(0,"","About to freeze...")
$Array[1] = "X" ; bad reference to 2-dimension array should cause abend
MsgBox(0,"", "I'll never get this far!")
