panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference

I have been trying to use the library but I get the error in the title. Here is the code I am using:

p, q, err := paillier.GenerateSafePrime(
	1024,
	4,
	10000000000,
	rand.Reader,
)
if err != nil {
	panic("DidierCrunchPaillier GenerateSafePrime error: " + err.Error())
}
privateKey := paillier.CreatePrivateKey(p, q)
toEncrypt := big.NewInt(19)
cipher, err := privateKey.Encrypt(toEncrypt, rand.Reader)
if err != nil {
	panic("DidierCrunchPaillier Encrypt error: " + err.Error())
}
plain := privateKey.Decrypt(cipher)
fmt.Println("Plaintext: " + plain.String())

The issue is with the decryption function. Here is the trace:

panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference

When I use small primes as in tests (e.g., 13, 17), enc/dec both works but not with generated primes. Am I using the API wrong?
