It would help to use the latest version.  Otherwise the line number in that
error message is not accurate, and it can be hard to track down the issue
unless I see the exact .js script you're using.  Also, if you aren't using the
latest version, the issue may have been fixed by now (if the issue has been
seen before).

It should behave correctly when used as a loadable module.  No additional
command-line arguments should be needed when used that way.  If it doesn't
behave correctly, then that's something I could look into, but I've been using
it as a loadable module for a while now, and it has been working well as far
as I can tell.

That's a weird behavior that I don't recall seeing.  But I would definitely
recommend updating so you have the latest updates & fixes.
