wrong Json output - Githubissues

I'm trying to get all connected clients; director.call('status director')['client-connection']

However the output is incomplete (there are two clients in my setup) : {u'protocol_version': 54, u'connect_time': u'22-Mar-17 12:05', u'authenticated': 1, u'name': u'LaptopSvenn'}

When I call director.call('status director')

I get both clients but the format is incorrect. {u'protocol_version': 54, u'connect_time': u'22-Mar-17 12:06', u'authenticated': 1, u'name': u'rocky', u'client-connection': {u'protocol_version': 54, u'connect_time': u'22-Mar-17 12:05', u'authenticated': 1, u'name': u'LaptopSvenn'}} I ran this on Centos 7 / Python 2.7.5

For reference this is the non-json result :

[root@lungo-02 python]# python test.py
### director.call('status director')
{u'protocol_version': 54, u'connect_time': u'22-Mar-17 12:06', u'authenticated': 1, u'name': u'rocky', u'client-connection': {u'protocol_version': 54, u'connect_time': u'22-Mar-17 12:05', u'authenticated': 1, u'name': u'LaptopSvenn'}}

###  director.call('status director')['client-connection']
{u'protocol_version': 54, u'connect_time': u'22-Mar-17 12:05', u'authenticated': 1, u'name': u'LaptopSvenn'}

Perhaps relevant I get this error : bareos-dir: ERROR in output_formatter.c:126 Failed to add JSON reference client-connection (stack size: 1) already exists. This should not happen. Ignoring.
