This did make a difference. I suspected this was the case, so I added some code
to make the Javascript I was submitting always unique. I took that back out and
put this setting in place.

I can't say for certain, but it seems to be that the M/R gets an incomplete
list of keys to use because they are queried first. While the M/R is being run,
though, entries are added to that bucket. These are obviously not picked up by
the running M/R code because the list of keys has already been obtained.
Of course that's just a guess because I don't know the specifics of how it
works internally. :)

I was using the defaults.
What I'm trying now is to set the n_val, w, etc... properties when I start the
tests.
If I'm running a single test server, what should I set and to what value? Just
w=1 or does r need to be set too?
I basically want to make sure that every write is "flushed" before returning. I
don't want to add this to the underlying code, because I want to take advantage
of any caching and what-not. I just want to make sure that things are flushed
and solid while running the test suite. If it takes twice as long, I don't
care. I just want the tests to pass. ;)
