update to node 0.12 hubot will no longer start

[khera]

Today I updated node from 0.10.35 to 0.12.0. Restart of the hubot results in the following error. I did a manual npm update in the hubot home directory, and it rebuilt a lot of stuff. I also did a force reinstall of the slack integration using npm install hubot-slack --save yet the error persists.

Running Node 0.12.0, npm 2.2.0, hubot-slack updated to latest release. All on FreeBSD 10.1.

Seems to be a known issue with Node: nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#8540

[evansolomon]

From the discussion on joyent/node it sounds like this is a Node core and/or FreeBSD bug, so I'm guessing we can't do much about it here.

Does that sound right? If so, it's probably best to close this issue since it's really just a symptom of the other one(s).

Let me know if I'm missing anything though.

I agree with your assessment. For now I backed down to node 0.10.
