I'm running litd with the latest version (0.12.3). We've had several nodes hit a problem where they fail to start up and the entire litd binary shuts down. The stack trace indicates it's an issue with Loop and database access. We have made no changes since previous versions. Here is a stack trace:

panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
[signal SIGSEGV: segmentation violation code=0x1 addr=0x8 pc=0x11c488c]

To resolve the issue, we delete the loop directory.

Expected behavior

Litd can run without crashing

Actual behavior

Litd start up crashes
