Adam Kocoloski commented on COUCHDB-455:
----------------------------------------

Hi Enda, thanks for the report.  I have to admit I'm a bit stumped at first.  The error message indicates that the replication gen_server had exited before the call to get_result.  Couch 0.9.0 and higher should protect against that.  Were there any other related error messages?

There is one scenario I can dream up.  Are you triggering that same replication multiple times simultaneously?  That is

A POSTs to _replicate
B POSTs to _replicate with identical request body
A receives a response, replicator shuts down
B gets a noproc error

In this case we try to add B as a listener to the original replication, but it's technically possible the replication could terminate in between when B gets the process id and when it asks for the result.
