Populate could bail out too early if the first document retrieved from the parent model contained an empty array in the field used for populating the child model. The _populate method will invoke the next function immediately in this event rather than being delayed by a database read causing the loop to end immediately. In order to fix this, I wrapped the call to _populate in "process.nextTick()".
