TypeError: Cannot read property '1' of null

[ReidandKat]

Can someone please assist me with this. I have a simple irc client that sends messages to visitors via socket.io

This error seems to happen completely randomly:

C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\irc\lib\parse_message.js:39
message.command = match[1];
^
TypeError: Cannot read property '1' of null

It happens when server sends an empty line.
PR #318 fixed the problem for me.

When will the fix be pushed to npm?

Second this; an NPM update would be great.

I've found this issue occurs when the server sends newlines as \r\n and the packets split up the \r and the \n. The \n gets interpreted as an empty line, causing a crash. It'd be nice to have #318 in the NPM release.

Thanks for this package, btw!

I also encountered this problem today. It happened when NPM install
