Comment 4 for bug 461114

I think this is addressed in #486102 . There's a patch there, so I'll link this bug there.

There is a period between when couchdb has written its PID file and when it is really listening on a socket for connections. Our code assumes that writing its PID file is a signal that it's ready to work, but it is not. Now, we loop on looking for the socket, instead of interpreting missing as an error.
