      From the shell run:

      db.foo.ensureIndex({a: 1}, {length: 1.7976931348623157e+308})

      Show
      From the shell run: db.foo.ensureIndex({a: 1}, {length: 1.7976931348623157e+308})

      Description

      When createIndex is called in the shell it checks if the options provided are an array with if ( options.length ). If options is an object with a a field called length that is very large the shell will stall. This can be fixed by check if it's an array with if ( Array.isArray(options ). This can cause problems in jstestfuzz.
