I do not justify this hunch, just thinking out loud. Beaver quit only after 'No data' was showing up. \n\nPlease let me know if you'd need any info.\n\nThanks,\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/osssubb","@type":"Person","name":"osssubb"},"datePublished":"2013-06-19T04:54:17.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":6},"url":"https://github.com/164/python-beaver/issues/164"}
