Since upgrading to v3.2.4, we started seeing occasional fatal errors from `connect`. It seems that a recent change is to blame. The error is thrown from line 287 there whenever `err` has no `message` property (as it wouldn't when, for example, the assignment `err = true` executes three lines prior).
