The process that manages the .ini configuration information inside the server was taking longer than 5 seconds to respond to requests. This caused other processes to crash. Eventually the death rate for processes in the supervision tree grew large enough that the VM decided to nuke the entire Erlang application.
Of course, this raises the question -- why was couch_config timing out on register requests? There's nothing in that log which can help us figure that out.
