Description

Running the view attached results in a reduce_overflow_error. For each reduce_overflow_error a process of /usr/lib/couchdb/bin/couchjs /usr/share/couchdb/server/main.js starts running. Once this gets to 25, which is the os_process_limit by default, all views result in a server error: timeout {gen_server,call,[couch_query_servers,

{get_proc,<<"javascript">>}

]}

As far as I can tell, these processes and the non-response from the views will continue until couch is restarted.
