Hi guys
I am using Windows 7 Ultimate and I managed to get round the 4GB 
database limit using this installer:
https://github.com/dch/couchdb/downloads/setup-couchdb-1.0.2_otp_R14B01_spidermonkey_1.8.5.exe
With this I have a 5.8GB database that is happily running, even if I 
restart the service.

However when this was applied to a Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition 
machine the 4GB limit still seems to exist.
Is there something funky with Server 2003 that would cause this?
Is there a binary or installer available that would work instead?

Also do database files that grow to the magical 4GB limit become corrupt 
or are they usable on other setups without this issue?
(I have to ask as the 2003 Server machine is over in china and will take 
an age to transfer it for examination)

Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Rob
