  <p>I have noted this previous question on the same error: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5161828/express-framework-giving-a-very-strange-error">Express framework giving a very strange error</a>. I tried to install the older version of connect, but this did not work and I received the same error.</p>
