0.6.5 fails with Error: needs an unsigned integer 'ms' argument.

When I run ./node_modules/.bin/tsd without any arguments (or --version) I get the following error:

I do not know what to do. I have a similary configured (same version of npm and node) machine which works fine. I suspect some network-related issues, but the error message above seems rather unhelpful to me.

Tsd is deprecated. Take a look at Typings

For the record in hope it will help someone in similar situation:

The problem was in that tsd depends on update-notifier which depends on configstore which depends on "graceful-fs": "^3.0.1". While the code runs fine with graceful-fs@3.0.8 it fails with graceful-fs@3.0.11, probably because of some bug introduced in natives (another modul on which graceful-fs@3.0.11 depends) in the line

      fn = runInThisContext(source, nm.filename, true);

The solution for me was to invoke npm shrinkwrap --dev on my working production server to freeze all the versions of all the (sub)dependencies of my project, and commit the generated npm-shrinkwrap.json. Then on the not working server, checkout this file and do rm -r node_modules; npm install.
