It arises when a function returning an array fails to do so due to a programming error, and it is acknowledged that nil is the intended return in this situation.

Yet the compiler doesn't flag a nil object exception or even the catch-all "You must use the return value...", so the result is a crash(unexpected quit) at runtime.

The debugger is aware of the nil return, so shouldn't this be caught therein?

This should probably be caught by the compiler since trying to do

        dim a() as string

        a = nil

won't compile
