PUT new database sometimes returns 412 (database does not already exist)

[Matt Adams <ma...@radicaldynamic.com>]

Folks:

I am running into a situation where a PUT request to create a new 
database fails intermittently with a 412 vs the 201 that is expected. 
The databases in question do not exist.  Excerpt from couch.log follows:

Has anyone else experienced this behaviour?  I am running CouchDB 1.0.2 
compiled from source (no modifications) with Erlang R14B01 running on 
Debian Linux 32bit.

In the meantime I will be trying to reproduce this successfully and get 
more out of Couch and the process that is controlling this.

Any suggestions or hints would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,

Matt
