Jan Lehnardt closed COUCHDB-72.
-------------------------------


Installing the latest Erlang version (R12B-3 at this point) solves this problem.

> When first accessing a large view, CouchDB returns the following error both 
> to Futon and its couch.log
> [Thu, 29 May 2008 17:53:21 GMT] [error] [emulator] Error in process <0.724.0> 
> with exit value: 
> {{badmatch,{error,error_header_too_large}},[{couch_view,reset_file,4},{couch_view,start_update_loop,4}]}
> The threshold of view size to cause this error is somewhere between 1800 
> bytes (works) and 3500 bytes (breaks).
> Removing content from the design document to bring it below the threshold 
> does not fix the problem, instead a new error is thrown:
> [Thu, 29 May 2008 17:46:16 GMT] [error] [emulator] Error in process <0.717.0> 
> with exit value: 
> {{badmatch,eof},[{couch_file,read_header,2},{couch_view,start_update_loop,4}]}
