Crashes after restart: First argument must be file descriptor

Node version: 6.9.5 Platform: Linux (running in docker through this image: https://hub.docker.com/_/node/) babel-watch version: 2.0.5

I can start babel watch and it works fine, will restart on changes successfully a few times and then when it tries to restart for the 2-6ish time, it will crash with the error:

/app/node_modules/babel-watch/babel-watch.js:298
          throw error;
          ^

 TypeError: First argument must be file descriptor

    at _combinedTickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:67:7)
    at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:98:9)

I can then restart it and it will work fine again for a bit, rinse and repeat.

I have been using babel-watch for a while now and never had this problem before.

Any updates?

I reverted to 2.0.4. Still crashes in docker but it’s far less frequent.
