TypeError: Cannot use 'in' operator to search for 'encoding' in undefined

code:

var gearman = require("gearman"),
client = gearman.createClient(4730, "my-gearman-server.example.com");

console.log("Sending job...");
var job = client.submitJob("reverse", "Hello World!", { encoding: "utf8" });
job.on("complete", function (data) {
console.log(data);
client.end();
});

---

sometime error bellow when do submitJob faster:

/home/jj/node_modules/gearman/lib/client/responses.js:9
if ("encoding" in job) { d = d.toString(job.encoding); }
^

is that need a callback in gearman.createClient,
and using callback to submitJob a job ?

Which version of Node are you using? This project hasn't been updated in a long time (I'm no longer using it so no longer making updates) and it's possible that the latest release of this module doesn't work at all with newer releases of Node.
