It was quite easy to find by just setting a breakpoint and following the code path. There is a call to _internal script replace or something like that which was choking because it must have been being called with invalid chunks. I’m hoping once we get a few more people over the git hurdle this kind of issue could be a nice low hanging fruit contribution for people. Luckily the fix wasn’t in a binary stackfile which helps.

Cheers
