Description

Yesterday I hit a bug, where pull replication is dying which is resulting in a {exit,{json_encode,

{bad_term,<0.133.0>}

}} error (CouchDB is trying to encode a PID into JSON).

Adam and Paul had a look at this issue yesterday and they found the underlying issue: There was a missing clause catching the exit message when the changes feed was consumed and ibrowse closes the HTTP connection for that feed.

Adam wrote a quick patch yesterday, which I'll append here too (applies cleanly to 1.0.x at time of writing).

(Sorry for any inaccuracy, I only understood the issue partially)
