lego: Renew just dies with no error (sometimes it says EOF)

run command works fine, renew fails silently for me

This is my cron that’s been working for months

/usr/local/bin/lego -email=devops@example.com -d=example.com -d=d1.example.com -d=d2.example.com --path=/etc/lego --dns=route53

This is the output I get (sometimes the EOF line is missing)

2017/01/08 23:28:49 [INFO][example.com] acme: Trying renewal with 1408 hours remaining
2017/01/08 23:28:49 [INFO][example.com, d1.example.com, d2.example.com] acme: Obtaining bundled SAN certificate
2017/01/08 23:28:51 EOF

Only started happening in Dec I believe. Any ideas?

I seem to have also encountered this error. It fails in the same spot, however mine spit out a panic.

panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
