Bug Description

Binary package hint: erlang-base

Applications such as CouchDB can crash under 'heavy load' with erlang. Updating Erlang fixes it, Apache's bug related (and fixed) at http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-275

Updating to R13B or later fixes this, this is fixed in Karmic Koala; so this is related strictly to Jaunty.

As of right now these are the supported versions of erlang:

    erlang | 1:11.b.5dfsg-11 | hardy/universe | source, all
    erlang | 1:13.b.3-dfsg-2ubuntu2 | lucid | source
    erlang | 1:13.b.3-dfsg-2ubuntu2.1 | lucid-updates | source
    erlang | 1:13.b.3-dfsg-2ubuntu3 | maverick | source
    erlang | 1:13.b.3-dfsg-2ubuntu3 | natty | source
    erlang | 1:14.b.2-dfsg-3ubuntu2 | oneiric | source
    erlang | 1:14.b.4-dfsg-1ubuntu1 | precise | source

So, this was fixed in the lucid release. This also won't be fixed in hardy, as the prescribed fix is to run R13B.
