couchdb filters and function_clause error


i have a problem with couchdb filters. 

 $curl
'http://HOST/mydb/_changes?filter=app/important' 

the response i get is
the following error: 

 {"error": "unknown_error", "reason":
"function_clause"} 

and this is my very simple test filter doc: 

 {

"_id": "_design/app",
 "_rev": "4-51941e89602a03c3ccf3c62858b9051b",

"filters": {
 "important": "function(doc, req) { return false; }"
 }
 }


what´s wrong with this filter? 

all other views i created and tried are
working.

looks like it should work to me.

what version of couchdb are you on?

can you provide the log file section corresponding to the error?

Thanks,
