Pete Vander Giessen commented on COUCHDB-1357:
----------------------------------------------
I managed to reproduce the bug :-)
I started couch w/ the following in the invocation:
-env ERL_MAX_PORTS 256 +P 256
(I tried setting the ports lower, but couch wouldn't start at all if I set it
too low.)
Then I visited futon on a linux server with about 100 databases. This opened
enough files/ports to trigger the system limit.
Here's what I saw:
1) Couch continued to run, and my admin user could log in, but I couldn't log
in with any users in the _users database.
2) The log got ... noisy. Here's the first error:

> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.1.1
> Reporter: Filipe Manana
> Attachments:
> 0001-Let-the-credentials-cache-daemon-crash-if-_users-db-.patch
>
>
> From the report at the users mailing list:
> http://s.apache.org/9OG
> Seems like after updating the password in a user doc, the user is not able to
> login with the new password unless Couch is restarted. Sounds like a caching
> issue.
> The only case of getting the cache consistent with the _users database
> content is if the _users database processes crash and after the crash user
> documents are updated. The cache daemon is ignoring the database crash.
> The following patch updates the daemon to monitor the _users database and
> crash (letting the supervisor restart it) if the database process crashes.
> Etap test included.
> This might be related to COUCHDB-1212.
