Historic Sync failing during initial sync [testnet]

[iancoleman]

I'm trying to sync the insight database for a testnet instance and the sync process crashes at about 80% through.

I've tried util/sync.js -D and it always crashes at the same point in the sync.

It seems like this is happening in a multisig transaction (from the stacktrace below):
bitcore/lib/Address.js:122
Almost certainly this one
http://test.insight.is/tx/2c63aa814701cef5dbd4bbaddab3fea9117028f2434dddcdab8339141e9b14d1

I'm afraid that's as far as I could get debugging this issue.

The stack trace from the error is:

Sorry, this a
Due to a already fixed problem on bitcore. Can you use the github version
of bitcore? Will update the package soon. You can continue the sync after
updating bitcore (run without -D)
