Description

When running the test suite in the Chrome browser on OS X all tests pass until the view_collation test is reached. It begins running but hangs the browser and pegs the CPU. Eventually the specific browser process (specific tab) will need to be killed.

This also happens if either the view_collation or view_collation_raw tests are run individually.

All of the tests after view_collation and view_collation_raw run cleanly when run manually later so it appears that only these two cause trouble.

Nothing is shown in the developer tools console in Chrome.

The same test suite runs clean all the way through when run immediately after in a Safari 4.0.3 browser without any restart of CouchDB required.
