Versions 4.0.4 & 4.1.0 both fail to run correctly on node-red 0.20.5-rpi

protocol-buffers enabled us to create a pure nodejs client for Eclipse Kapua - a much lighter alternative to Kura.
With node-red moving to 0.20.5 we wanted to be able to leverage all the great new features but both versions 4.0.4 & 4.1.0 of protocol-buffers fail to run correctly on node-red 0.20.5-rpi.
On receiving proto buf encoded messages from Kapua, protocol-buffers throws exceptions

• Error: groups are not supported
• Error: invalid wire type 6/7

The same kura message proto file is able to correctly support decoding of messages from Kapua when running on 0.19.x of node-red.

Note that encoding to protobuf for outbound messages seems to work correctly.

Those errors are usually indicative on some sort of over-the-wire-corruption. Are you 100% there isn't some other bug in play here?

Hi @mafintosh
I understand your point and it was what I thought it was at first.
However:

• This was a consistently reproduced problem (100%) with code and an application system that had been originally working
• I reverted to 0.19.6 and everything works again

Its difficult to create a simple standalone test for this but I could try if that helps

Thanks, gitsaycat
