Antony Blakey commented on COUCHDB-365:
---------------------------------------

The original error is in this code:

should_flush(_DocCount) ->
    MeAndMyLinks = [self()|
        [P || P <- element(2,process_info(self(),links)), is_pid(P)]],
    
    case length(MeAndMyLinks)/2 > ?BUFFER_NATTACHMENTS of
    true -> true;
    false ->
        case memory_footprint(MeAndMyLinks) > 2*?BUFFER_MEMORY of
        true ->
            [garbage_collect(Pid) || Pid <- MeAndMyLinks],
            memory_footprint(MeAndMyLinks) > ?BUFFER_MEMORY;
        false -> false
        end
    end.

The problem being that the second time memory_footprint is called the elements of MeAndMyLinks may not be valid because of the preceding garbage_collect.

I fixed this by replacing that second call by this:

            memory_footprint([self()| [P || P <- element(2,process_info(self(),links)), is_pid(P)]]) > ?BUFFER_MEMORY;

> Partway through a replication I get this:
>   {"error":"json_encode","reason":"{bad_term,{couch_rep,'-memory_footprint/1-fun-0-',2}}"}
> as the response from the replication request. Attempting to restart replication results in:

> but the replication has hung.
