CouchDBX log view can prevent CouchDB from handling requests about couchdbx-core HOT 1 OPEN

Adding some notes for future me or whoever gets a chance to tackle this first:

The CouchDB server is started via an NSTask with pipe notifications registered on the main thread's run loop. Still paging Cocoa stuff back into the front of my mind, but based on some comments on a thread I found (http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/cocoa/284820-problem-with-reading-an-nspipe-nsfilehandle-to-end.html, "When you invoke -readInBackgroundAndNotify, there is a run loop source installed on the run loop associated with the current thread. That is, if you invoke -readInBackgroundAndNotify on a background thread, the run loop source is installed on the background thread's run loop.") the solution may be as simple as registering for the data notifications via a background thread that subsequently starts polling its own run loop. When a data event comes in, we can pull that data from the system pipe buffer (which is probably the "finite queue" we are seeing CouchDB act as if it has) and send it off via a performSelector to the main thread's run loop (which will retain the data until it is gotten to).
