Good to know! Let us know if you run into any other issues with 17.1. I'm still "stuck" on 16.1 for day-to-day use at RealJob (I tend not to upgrade in the middle of a project unless it's required), and the Docker images are back at 15.1 since there's not really any need to run anything newer AFAIK.
