Description

If I set Admin and reader security on the replication database the replicator will crash when adding new records to the database with a "not authorised error". It will continue to crash while trying to restart replication and even after a restart

1. Create several databases and replication rules - everything works fine
2. Add reader security to the replication database
3. Insert new document into the replication database. Replication will record the error and stop all replication

I am testing against a trunk build of CouchDB but think I have seen similar behaviour on 1.1.x but hadn't pinned down the cause
