Yes that makes sense. Thanks for pointing it out. I think I have the 
right fix in mind. Will post it shortly as v2.

It took me some time to install all the dependencies and get this tool 
running with the fix I mentioned above [1]. But I am not sure the error 
logs I got [2] are the one which you were expecting or some stability 
issue with the test. Can you please take a look at it.

If the fix I attached here [1] makes sense, I will go ahead and post 
this as v2.

Thanks.
