Solution

The problem has been patched in [ced v1.0.0](https://github.com/sonicdoe/ced/releases/tag/v1.0.0). You can upgrade from v0.1.0 without any breaking changes.Workaround:
Before passing an argument to ced, verify its a `Buffer` using [`Buffer.isBuffer(obj)`](https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#buffer_static_method_buffer_isbuffer_obj).
