Working with the below code (reduced to illustrate the problem) crashes EXW. It turns out that while using another routine as a template for this one an undefined variable was left in the code. However, rather than throw an undefined reference error EXW simply crashes with the familiar Window message: "..encountered a problem..". When this variable is deleted everything works, but because of this crash behavior it took some time to search through the entire file.

Is this due to the new forward reference feature? If so, the interpreter would need to be able to indentify this kind of reference error.

Perhaps there is a better interpretation of the problem.
