Hi Matt I've just updated the code to handle that specific error - it's comparing the length of a string to a variable that is nil (and now compares to 0 if nil).
That said, it means that Sphinx is throwing an error, we weren't getting to it though. The current code should at least throw that error now, and hopefully that'll give us some clues as to what the problem is. When you've got a moment, if you could give the latest version of TS a spin, that'd be great.
