node.js request package has syntax error

I just installed the latest request package, npm install request. In my app, I have set the NODE_DEBUG=request so now I get a syntax error:

node_modules/request/lib/debug.js

module.exports =
function debug () {
  if (/\brequest\b/.test(process.env.NODE_DEBUG))
    console.error('REQUEST %s', util.format.apply(util, arguments))
}

ReferenceError: util is not defined

Any thoughts on this? What is "util"?

util is one of the core node.js modules. The file should have a require for the module (var util = require('util')) but it's missing. It's a bug in the request library itself.

It has been fixed but this hasn't been published to the npm repository yet:
