EDIT After further testing, I have found that this is happening with both gulp and grunt on this app and on the default install of mean.js. I'm running this locally on a Mac. When I running either app using "node server.js" they don't crash.
I'm using a MEAN stack with grunt-nodemon and node is crashing when an express URL is accessed. It isn't always consistent though. Sometimes it works, sometimes node crashes right when the URL is hit retiring no data, and other times I get a response and node crashed immediately after.
Browser console response:
http://localhost:8000/api/users net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
Terminal output:
Mongoose: users.insert({ firstname: 'mike', lastname: 'jones', email:'[email protected]', role: 'admin', password: 'mike', _id: ObjectId("57485c16fc11894b96c28057"), created: new Date("Fri, 27 May 2016 14:39:18 GMT"), __v: 0 })
user.save success
node crash
[nodemon] app crashed - waiting for file changes before starting...
In this case, the POST request went through, the user was added, then node crashed, but sometimes it crashes before a successful POST. Node also occasionally crashes on the GET request.

I'm also testing with Chromes Advanced REST extension and with any request using this tool node crashes immediately.
I'm new to MEAN so am I missing something here that is causing the crash? Any ideas?
node server.js- robertklepnode --debug server.jsI get the error messageSegmentation fault: 11and node crashes. But if I don't use--debugthere is no crash and no error message - MTD
