V0.33 until v0.34 both fail with blackburn theme

I asked one of the members here to close Hugo-git v0.34.r27.g4eb2fec6-1 broke will see if v0.31.1 will handle it now

On the sluggish machine - the last time I checked - the newest commit of Hugo works fine, but on the other machine - let’s call that the machine B, the most recent working environment is happily provided by v0.32.4. The rest of Hugo releases, simply fail to render the link appropriately, and miserably serves a blank page, notwithstanding its refresh.

i also think it would be a premature decision to blame the theme developer. Starting with v0.32.4 onwards until the current release, it does fail when the side menu link is clicked.

Now, for the sake of clarity, the following is what I did with machine B.

on the command line hugo version (assuming that blackburn, the theme in use, is unzipped or cloned into the newly created site), which returns:

Hugo Static Site Generator v0.33 linux/amd64 BuildDate:

and

 $ hugo server -t blackburn --buildDrafts

When the side menu link is clicked

Whereas with Hugo v0.32.4 on the command line again hugo version returns:

after clicking the link it favorably returns:

You need to take this with the theme author on the issue tracker.
