> Creating documents with gigantic integers works fine, but rendering them causes a crash as mochijson2 tries to call float(I) and Erlang is not capable of handling it. There's nothing in the JSON spec[1] to suggest that huge integers must be rendered as float, so I removed that guard from mochijson2. This fixes the bug.
> I included no Futon tests because the numbers we're dealing with are too large to be managed by Javascript. However, I will attach a Ruby test that shows the bug. It is worth noting that the Ruby test passes on old (cjson) versions of CouchDB.
