Description

Steps to reproduce:

1. Set up a number of pull replications between server A and server B
2. Compact one of the databases on server B

Sometimes, just after the compaction finishes, all the running replications on server B (pulling from server A) will die. For the avoidance of doubt, this includes replications targeting databases other than the one that was being compacted.

I've discussed this with rnewson on IRC, and he's seen the logs from when the problems occur.
