error in process sentinel: async-handle-result

I am just getting started with spacemacs - gone through the docs, cloned the git repo to ~/.emacs.d-24.5.1 and then started Emacs.app (macport) to complete installation. But when I restart Emacs.app the following error shows up.

I have checked spacemacs code to confirm that user-emacs-directory is being used instead of hardcoded .emacs.d yet the above error shows up. Please advise on how to get around this issue.

This bug has already been reported: #3390. A fix has been merged in develop (#3391) and will be available in the next release :-)

@StreakyCobra thanks, somehow missed it when I had searched for user-emacs-directory in issues.

No problem :-)
