Adding another case:

timers.js:103
            if (!process.listeners('uncaughtException').length) throw e;
                                                                      ^
TypeError: Cannot call method 'onClose' of null

Posted by JoeMattie on the forums : 

Go to ga-bitbot/tools/nimbs/node_modules/socket.io/lib

open manager.js and replace this line:

this.oldListeners = server.listeners('request').splice(0);

with these two lines:

this.oldListeners = server.listeners('request').slice(0);
server.removeAllListeners('request');


This solution worked for me.
