I have a wierd issue that seems to have gone away... I am only posting this because maybe there is a similar issue floating around, and I *might* be able to get this to reproduce.
I have a database with a bunch of little docs, and then two really big files containing topojson data. The two topojson files are 3.4MB...big, but not outrageous. My dev machine has 4GB of RAM. I created the db by replicating from another much bigger database, using filtered replication. My local couchdb is 1.2.x (claims to be 1.2.2, I just rebuilt today trying to work on this issue), and the remote machine is running 1.2.x that claims to be Apache CouchDB 1.2.0a-df81c2a-git. My issue *was* that running any view on the database would crash. Only that database, all others were fine. After downloading the latest 1.2.x from github, and recompiling, I still had the problem. Then I deleted the two big topojson docs, and the views worked fine. So I started this email, and in trying to reproduce the issue, I couldn't. First, I had to get the topojson files back into the db. because I deleted them, they wouldn't replicate from the source db anymore, so I edited the files with the "deleted" revision number, PUT them back in, and then the views failed to crash. I was thinking that perhaps the replication process got messed up, except that the docs that I put back in are exactly the ones that were replicated, aside from the fact that I edited and saved them with emacs. I have one other dev machine running couchdb, and could probably try to redo all the steps to get to the crashing views, but I only want to deal with this if there is someone else is interested in debugging an issue that has apparently gone away.
