Calling GUI methods in Update crashes the editor

-

Oct 27, 2015

Add the following code to the Update method of a new script:

if (GUI.Button (new Rect (20, 20, 60, 20), "Test")) {}

Attach the script to an object and press play. Unity will crash!

This is a regression introduced somewhere between Unity 5.3.0a1 and 5.3.0b1
