express(1) issue on 0.4.x

[tanqhnguyen]

I have this problem when using expressjs 2.5.3 with nodejs 0.4.12 (2.5.2 does not have this error)

node.js:134
        throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
        ^
TypeError: Object #<Object> has no method 'platform'
    at Object.<anonymous> (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/express/bin/express:34:25)

Is there something holding you back on 0.4.x versus upgrading to 0.6.x?

[tanqhnguyen]

well, the application that I am developing is using nodejs 0.4.12 and I dont want to upgrade because some modules will be broken.

If you're starting a new app you should probably upgrade to 0.6.x, but if it's an old app you dont need the express executable but this is still a bug

[tanqhnguyen]

yes, agree. Actually, I accidentally found this bug when doing some demo for my friends.
