Aaaand my Couch commited suicide again today. Unless this is something
different, I may have finally gotten lucky and had CouchDB leave a note [eerily
unfinished!] in the logs this time:
https://gist.github.com/natevw/fd509978516499ba128b
```

```
So…now what? I have a rebuilt version of CouchDB I'm going to try [once I
figure out why *it* isn't starting] but this is still really upsetting — I'm
aware I could add my own cronjob or something to check and restart if needed
every minute, but a) the shell script is SUPPOSED to be keeping CouchDB and b)
it's NOT and c) this is embarrassing and aggravating.
thanks,
