'Specified argument was out of the range of valid values' when comparing two documents

Hello, I’ve encountered an issue, where if you compare a document where last sections header/footer has link to previous set, and an empty document, the compare throws: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.
Parameter name: index

Code snippet to reproduce:

Document doc = new Document("path/to/Lorem.docx");

doc.getSections().get(2).getHeadersFooters().linkToPrevious(true);

doc.compare(new Document(), " ", new Date());

Lorem.docx (15.6 KB)
