couple more gotchas i forgot to mention:- the uuid test will fail if the time on the server couch is running on is out of sync with the time on the computer you're running the test on. both our dev and production servers' clocks had drifted by more than a few seconds, and once i fixed that the test passed. - the view_conflicts test (and possibly others) will fail if the local port you're hitting couch through does not match the remote port.
