Mark Hammond commented on COUCHDB-370:
--------------------------------------
If I understand correctly, couchspawnkillable will terminate couch's children
when couch explicitly asks, but should couch go away silently and suddenly
these children may continue to exist. While couch stopping would *usually*
kill the child due to the child's stdin being closed, this would not be the
case if the child process was in an infinite loop and didn't get back to trying
to read stdin.
> If the CouchDB vm is dies or is killed, view subprocesses (js) are not
> automatically killed

> Affects Versions: 0.9
> Reporter: Damien Katz
> Priority: Minor

> If CouchDB dies or is killed, it's subprocess are not forcefully killed. If
