Unhandled error when sender sends message in wrong order? (may be I'm not sure)

[copyninja]

Hi,

I was experimenting with magic-wormhole protocol using golang and was experimenting send functionality. Then I encountered error on my side and noticed on mailbox server side there is this stack trace dumped on screen.

You would need to use salsa.debian.org/vasudev/magicwormhole for building this binary. Once built just execute and enter the code without nameplate (nameplate got from server). And you will see abrupt connection closure error and above trace back on mailbox server.

I was expecting an error message instead suggesting what might have gone wrong. Ofcourse its my code at fault but the above error is not handled in server side.

Can you please give a JSON trace of the communication happening between both sides until the crash?
