Hi Oliver,

yes I started with that - it's a long story but it comes down to couch 
returning content-type text plain in the HTTP response headers,
so an extra JSON.parse() has to be applied to get json.

See my other email.

Many thanks to Paul for his patience.  And good luck with your upgrade.
Have you tried CouchDBX - after many travails with 0.8.1 building from 
source on the Mac - I just switched to CouchDBX and have been very happy 
with it.  I do build 0.9.0 from source on Ubuntu.
