Tern not running on node v6.1.0

I upgraded node from v5.7.0 to v6.1.0, I installed tern on v6.1.0 (globally). It works on v5.7.0, any idea? However, it works if I start the tern manually:

1. Start emacs
2. Open a javascript file
3. Autocomplete not working
4. I start the tern manually
5. Run tern-use-server and specify the port of the tern that I ran manually.
6. Autocomplete works fine

which tern
$HOME/.nvm/versions/node/v6.1.0/bin/tern

Reproduction guide

• Start Emacs
• Open a javascript file
• Type a variable name
• Press TAB, it will fail to show completion and there's a message Request failed: (nil)

Observed behaviour:
There's a message Request failed: (nil), I did check the tern process ps aux | grep tern, no tern process running.

Expected behaviour:
It should show completion list when I pressed TAB when I'm typing a variable name

Might be related to this problem. nodejs/node#6563
Open a shell in emacs and check if you can run node in it. You should get "Abort trap: 6 error ".
If so, then you have to upgrade Node to 6.2

@tmkbry yep upgrading to v6.2.0 solves the issue, downgrading to v5.7.0 solves it too. I'm closing this issue because it's node related.
