Good idea.

Silly me. I implemented the recognition of Lua 4 messages here, but I 
forgot to update to Lua 5...

You should, if not already done, submit these changes to Neil. Thanks 
for the other people editing Lua with SciTE :-)

Note: this covers the editing of Lua programs with SciTE, not the 
embedding of Lua within SciTE to run macros/scripts. This feature will 
allow SciTE to be listed in the Lua applications page...

It is because someone contributed code to manage tabs in Z-order (jump 
to latest seen buffer when closing one or switching) but this code will 
be removed because of these crashes. I desactivated it with
buffers.zorder.switching=0
anyway, as I don't like this confusing behavior.

Bonus note for SciTE users:

if PLAT_WIN
  command.help.$(file.patterns.lua)="file://C:/Lua/Lua50_Manual.html"
  command.help.subsystem.$(file.patterns.lua)=2

will launch Lua manual (change name and path, of course) when hitting F1 
in SciTE with a Lua file. If somebody converted the manual to .hlp or 
.chm formats, we could even jump directly to the keyword under the caret...
