Joshua Bronson commented on COUCHDB-275:
----------------------------------------
I have installed erlang R12B-5 on a development server, applied the attached
patch, and can confirm that it prevents the term_to_binary snippet above from
crashing erlang. did bjorn give any idea as to why the OTP team will not
include this patch? would be good to know before we roll this out on our
production server.
