*Chris,* Thanks for the response.
$ couchdb -V couchdb - Apache CouchDB 0.10.1 Judging by the CouchDB downloads page<http://couchdb.apache.org/downloads.html>, I'm on the latest stable release. I was trying to get a sense of how far off 0.11 is, so I referred to the road map<http://couchdb.apache.org/roadmap.html> which looks like it might be out of date, and then to the JIRA issues<https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&mode=hide&sorter/order=DESC&sorter/field=priority&resolution=-1&pid=12310780&fixfor=12313841> for 0.11, which didn't really help either. Is CouchDB a project where it would be ill-advised to run on "edge" to get some 0.11 features early? I'll try just updating SpiderMonkey, as you suggested, first. Thanks much. *Mario*, Also, thanks for the response. As a shot in the dark, I had tried parseJSON first to no avail.
