Hi Shawn,

It may be related to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1258

What Erlang + Couch release are you running? On which platform?

The current git 1.2.x branch contains rnewson's fix. If you're able
to, try building from
source & test again. You will likely need just this doc, + the related
design docs for
views.
