Description

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Not entirely sure. I have been doing some testing with CouchDB, essentially
downloading messages from twitter for a few days and dumping them in a
database. I would attach the DB file, but it's like 120MB big. Then when I
run a simple view on it, even the simple:
function(doc) {
map(null, doc);
}

I get to see the following messages in the server log. Sometimes it works
though, so it seems kind of arbitrary:

---

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

This only occurs on the subversion trunk build on Ubuntu Linux 7.10. On the
current release version it works fine.

Please provide any additional information below.

If you want the .couch files with which this happens, let me know.

Okay, can you make the DB file available somehow and send me a link to it to cmlenz at gmx.de? I think it
should compress fairly well BTW.
