Terraform Crash EOF from reading from a remote state file

---

I am getting a TF crash whenever I read from a remote state. It is only this particular state file.

I tried to re-create it from scratch and it worked until I explicitly added the aws_vpc resource (which was imported from an existing one.

Terraform Version

Terraform v0.9.5

Affected Resource(s)

Please list the resources as a list, for example:

• data.terraform_remote_state
• possibly aws_vpc.main

Terraform Configuration Files

data "terraform_remote_state" "vpc-dev" {
  backend = "s3"

  config {
    bucket  = "mybucket}"
    key     = "states/dev-us-west-2/vpc.tfstate"
    region  = "us-west-2"
    profile = "my-profile"
  }
}
