Do you have more details?
Michael,
It does work when I specify the same command line parameters. I used this command (copied from the Docker Quickstart website):
docker run -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash
I get this error:
S C:\Users\cbirmele> docker run -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash
docker : panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
