External process timed out?

[Jonathan Calvert]

I'm new to the CouchDB thing (thanks to the double-header presentation 
at QCon) and have been toying around. I was working on a view and I kept 
getting an "external process timed out" error. I have since rewritten 
the view because I realized I was doing things inefficiently, but it 
bothers me that I have no idea where to find the root cause of such an 
error.  When I get errors like these is there anywhere this is logged 
(It's not showing in couch.log) or some switch I can flip to see?
