Yes, I'll be at ZeekWeek and happy to take a look then.  Else if you
had any minimal reproducer and/or stack trace you can actually share,
feel free to send that along in the meantime.

However, my colleague Blake Johnson and I might give a talk at Zeek Week next week (https://twitter.com/voteblake/status/1178787539999526912?s=20).  Will you be there?  I'd love to catch up with you and show you in person instead.  It's probably some silly issue/misconfiguration on my end.
