Description

The debugging I've done points to this being an erlsrv.exe bug. Here my steps to recreate.

Install 1.0.1 CouchDB as a service using the Windows Binary Installer. I did not select to "Start service after installation".
Edit the local.ini to set the logging level to "debug".
Go to the service control panel and start the Apache CouchDB service.
Go to Test Suite in Futon and run the "delayed_commits" test.

After about 15 - 20 seconds go to the service control panel and refresh to see that the service is no longer running. ProcessExplorer verifies the erlsrv.exe and erl.exe processes are not running. The last message in the log is a _restart command that returns 200.

When I run CouchDB using CouchDB.bat. The test completes without crashing.

When I set the DebugType in the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Ericsson\Erlang\ErlSrv\1.1\Apache CouchDB to 1 (DEBUG_TYPE_NEW) to get a erlsrv.exe log, the test completes without crashing.

I will attach the log files from CouchDB and erlsrv.exe.
