[rabbitmq-discuss] .NET Client Library Shared Queue Closed Error on Subscription When No Msgs in Queue

[BillC]

Please can you help me with the following error.  Using the examples that come with the .NET Cllient Library I have written a small program that creates a subscription and reads any published messages in the queue.  The code works and reads any messages in the queue, however when there are no more messages left to read in the Queue or when you run the program without any messages in the queue (i.e. when the queue is empty) the connection simply closes and throws the following EndOfStreamException:

System.IO.EndOfStreamException: SharedQueue closed
   at RabbitMQ.Util.SharedQueue.EnsureIsOpen()
   at RabbitMQ.Util.SharedQueue.Dequeue()
   at ConsoleApplication2.Program.Main(String[] args) in C:\rabbitmqdotnet\testw
indowsapp\ConsoleApplication2\ConsoleApplication2\Program.cs:line 47

Here is a listing of the source code.  Thanks for all your help.
