Klaus, perhaps I just heard wrong or misinterpreted what was said in the chat room. It did seem unusual that calling list_to_atom("foo") twice would add more than one atom. So just reverting the call back in couch_rep:dbinfo should suffice to fix this as it's internal. Thanks, Bob On Jan

As far as I can remember, the motivation behind list_to_existing_atom was not the fact that list_to_atom pollutes the atoms table during normal operation. However, it won't prevent atom table pollution when something goes wrong or somebody goes malicious (i.e., DoS attack). I've just looked it up
