I was able to get my svn build up and running again.

"make install" and voila, we are back on listening, ahh time to

OK, I tried this. After make uninstall, the main things turned up by
find
were:
* /usr/local/lib/couchdb/erlang/lib/ibrowse-1.4.1/ebin -- .app
and .beam
* /usr/local/lib/couchdb/erlang/lib/couch-0.XX.0aXXXXXX -- lots of
files
I first blew away /usr/local/lib/couchdb/erlang/lib/ibrowse-1.4.1/
ebin and
reinstalled, no difference.
So I then did:
make uninstall
rm -rf /usr/local/lib/couchdb
make install
and hey presto, it's working again!
So that seems to be the magic needed. Thanks for pointing me in the
right
direction.
Clearly, something in the change to the startup scripts made it
sensitive
to these extra files.

Thanks for following up, Brian! The first thing I'd wonder is whether
those couch-0.XX.0aXXXXXX were accidentally named in such a way (by
us) that the Erlang code loader was searching older builds with higher
priority, in effect mixing builds because the new startup procuedure
added a few modules that weren't there before. That's just a shot in
the dark, though. Anyway, thanks again. Best,
Adam
