Damien Katz commented on COUCHDB-863:
-------------------------------------

This sounds like a deeper bug. Under what circumstances does it attempt to drop references and it's already closed??

> couch_ref_counter:drop will complain, dying with noproc, if the reference counter does not exist. Since dropping a reference to a non-existent process isn't exactly an error I think we should squelch this one. I hate log noise and I've noticed this pop up in the logs a bunch, especially running the test suite. Extra noise doesn't make debugging easier and it could confuse people trying to solve real problems.
> Trivial, trivial patch unless I'm missing something really silly. I'll save everyone the extra emails from JIRA and just paste it here.
