> What steps will reproduce the problem?
> 1. Write a program/script that continuously reads its stdin and writes 
> something to stdout as stdin line has arrived
> 2. Register it as a db update listener in couch.ini
> [Couch]
> ...
> DbUpdateNotificationProcess=/path/to/daemon
> 3. Start couchdb. Each time db is updated, the listener program receives 
> input and writes back to stdout.
> This causes long and obscure error messages in couchdb server concole 
> output (not showed here). According to [1], listener is not supposed to 
> send anything back.
> It is therefore proposed that whatever is received from the listener is 
> merely logged in special log file e. g. notifier_log (which may be 
> redirected to /dev/null in couch.ini if not needed).
