> couch:start/0 ignores the result of application:start/1, masking any errors
> that happen during startup. e.g. I didn't have Erlang's os_mon modules (from
> Ubuntu's erlang-os-mon package) installed which caused current couchdb trunk
> to silently fail to start. The following trivial patch makes it fail
> immediately:
> diff --git a/src/couchdb/couch.erl b/src/couchdb/couch.erl
> index 956e948..365416e 100644
> --- a/src/couchdb/couch.erl
> +++ b/src/couchdb/couch.erl
> @@ -15,7 +15,8 @@
> -compile(export_all).
>
> start() ->
> - application:start(couch).
> + ok = application:start(couch),
> + ok.
>
> stop() ->
> application:stop(couch).
