Cannot read property 'toString' of null

Hello, I'm trying to keep my session alive with this code with interval 1 hour

	if (client.steamID) {
		client.webLogOn();
	} else {
		client.logOn(account);
	}

 

but in very rare case I'm getting crash (1 timer per 2-3 weeks, 24/7 running):

 

/root/project/node_modules/steam-user/components/messages.js:472
        if (steamID && sessionID && (sessionID != this._sessionID || steamID.toString() != this.steamID.toString())) {
                                                                                                        ^

newest library, newest nodejs, how can I handle it?

community.on('sessionExpired', function(err) {
        client.webLogOn(); //relogin to Steam or refresh tradeoffer-manager cookies
})

That looks like a bug in the module that's triggered by some weird, rare message from Steam. I'll fix it in the next update.
