[jira] Commented: (COUCHDB-275) couch crashes erlang vm under heavy load

["Joshua Bronson (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-275?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12705084#action_12705084 ] 

Joshua Bronson commented on COUCHDB-275:
----------------------------------------

looks like this may have been fixed in the erlang/otp R13B release (just last week). from the release notes[1]:

    OTP-7894  The term_to_binary/1 BIF used to be implemented with
	      recursive C code, which could cause the Erlang emulator to
	      terminate because of a stack overflow.

	      Also fixed some minor issues in term_to_binary/1 and
	      binary_to_term/1 pointed out by Matthew Dempsky.


Has anyone tried R13B yet?
