When I run node test/strategy.js I sometimes get:

/Users/jhiesey/Desktop/webtorrent/bittorrent-client/node_modules/tape/index.js:75
        throw err

@feross, I've seen this once as well, and I think it was caused by a peer sending an invalid metadata size that was something like MAXINT.

Yep, I've seen this twice as well.

I haven't seen this error in a long time. Closing.
