i3status: Arch Linux segfault in config

I’m using the latest version of Arch Linux (as of 2017-05-28, 10:22 PDT), and i3status segfaults every time I run it. I’ve narrowed it down to comments that don’t have any text on them in specific situations, examples:

Works:

# A
#

# Dummy

# Dummy
# Comment here
#

#Dummy
# Comment here
#

#
general {
}

Doesn’t work:

#

#
#

#
# A

#
# Comment here
#

Original issue:

I'm using the latest version of Arch Linux (as of 2017-05-28, 10:22 PDT), and i3status segfaults every time I run it.

I've narrowed it down to the ```general``` block in my config (it's in `~/.config/i3status/config`)
If the block is there at all (even empty), it segfaults.

**Edit:** removing the `general` block no longer fixes it, will do more testing
