Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/appy-one/acebase-server/issues/69

I don't think I was doing anything special code-wise... Just poking around on the client while not being signed in. Doesn't seem to happen 100% repeatably.

file:///app/node_modules/acebase-server/dist/esm/middleware/user.js:28
            req.user = env.authCache.get(tokenDetails.uid);
                                                      ^

@donl it appears the issue is caused by a client sending a request with an invalid user token. The function parsing the token doesn't throw on unexpected input at https://github.com/appy-one/acebase-server/blob/master/src/shared/tokens.ts#L35

I'll fix this tomorrow!
