<p>I don't know if its the first occurrence, but I can trace it
back to 7 days ago (the older I found):</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://ci.appveyor.com/project/resin-io/resin-cli/build/1.0.194/job/li4aavjy1e6ki5af">
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/resin-io/resin-cli/build/1.0.194/jo...</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p>In case it helps, we have two projects that get updated very
often, and show the issue in a lot of occurrences:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://ci.appveyor.com/project/resin-io/resin-cli/history">https://ci.appveyor.com/project/resin-io/resin-cli/history</a>.</li>
