Unfortunately, I can't find appropriate scenario to reproduce this situation, but it happens quite often.
Can you please provide further information about the system you're running Goblin in?.
Does this happens always with the same test or it just crashes randomly?
Thanks,
Marcos.
I'm not sure what information can help you:

It crashes randomly.
Thx for the update.
One last question. Are you using Gomega assertions in your test?
We've identified the issue. Fix is on the way.

Great, thanks!
Fixed with pull request #26
Could you please update goblin to the last version and check if you are still getting the same error?
We'll wait for your feedback before closing this.
Ah, now it works fine. Thanks!
Awsome.
Closed!.
