[akhoury]

which redis version are you using?

Looks like I got a similar issue:

[TheFitzZZ]

Did you overcome this at some point? I tried redis 6 down to 4, same result :-(

[Armadill0]

It does not seem to be related to the Redis server version at all but how the redis client is being used.

I think I found a fix with AI. I'll file a PR soon.
