I've noticed this problem after bumping the tools.reader dep in cider-nrepl to 1.3.0:
Oct 15, 2018 5:50:23 PM clojure.tools.logging$eval579$fn__582 invoke
SEVERE: Unhandled REPL handler exception processing message {:op init-debugger, :print-level 10, :print-length 10, :session cc619163-753b-46b1-9334-cf6e9459aac4, :id 8}

After first going to the tools.reader tracker (
https://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/TRDR-55) I was told this is a problem that has to be fixed in tools.namespace, so I'm filing this ticket here as well.
