Hi Shawn, It may be related to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1258 What Erlang + Couch release are you running? On which platform? The current git 1.2.x branch contains rnewson's fix. If you're able to, try building from source & test again. You will likely need just this doc, + the related design docs for views. A+ Dave
