Sure. Here's a curl session:

curl -X POST http://localhost:5984/msdtest -d '{"num":123456789123456789}'
{"ok":true,"id":"8d211c89d80d14972af7cb93e71754bc","rev":"1-fce9e6cc4e72866f75aeadbaed1a65c9"}

curl http://localhost:5984/msdtest/8d211c89d80d14972af7cb93e71754bc
{"_id":"8d211c89d80d14972af7cb93e71754bc","_rev":"1-fce9e6cc4e72866f75aeadbaed1a65c9","num":123456789123456780.0}

In Futon, the 'num' value does not have a decimal.  I don't 
understand why there would be a difference between the curl and Futon.

It seems like the problem occurs with large numbers.  Here's 
another curl where the num is not made into a decimal:

curl -X POST http://localhost:5984/msdtest -d '{"num":123456789}'
{"ok":true,"id":"8d211c89d80d14972af7cb93e7175daf","rev":"1-039a59b36e40b4216eac91872eed4645"}

curl http://localhost:5984/msdtest/8d211c89d80d14972af7cb93e7175daf
{"_id":"8d211c89d80d14972af7cb93e7175daf","_rev":"1-039a59b36e40b4216eac91872eed4645","num":123456789}
