On a new backbox 3.05 installation the same problem appears.

Issue only appears thus far with --> "Exploit" --> "Linux" --> "http" --> 
"nginx_chunked_size" . Took a while to recognize that ....

Thanks for the report. I tried the nginx_chunked_size exploit. It looks like 
this module returns a Long type which causes my MsgPack parser to throw a fit 
(it tries to interpret any integer (short, long, int) as an integer). 

I wrote a unit test to check all modules for this behavior. This is the first 
and only module that shows this problem. In either case, I'll have a fix with 
tomorrow's Armitage release.
