> The _log method for couchdb servers has query arguments "bytes" and "offset", but they seem to behave really weirdly. If offset >= bytes, an eof error is returned - otherwise offset is just substracted from bytes and the request behaves identically otherwise.
> A simple fix to the expected behaviour is included - offset counts backwards from bytes.
