[rabbitmq-discuss] Weird Crash (1M to 10M messages over STOMP?) - Recovery logic for durable messages/queues/exchanges?

Those three AMQP connections don't subscribe to the same queue as all
the STOMP connections.  In fact, all three AMQP connections just
subscribe to their own, independent queues.  To be clear all the STOMP
connections share the same queue, which is the one that usually has
the un-ack'd messages.

At this point, I'm thinking you probably need more information to
replace the message un-ack'd issue.  Perhaps if we can nail down the
original culprit for the weird crash, then we can replicate the
un-ack'd issue.  If I can construct the original message sent via
STOMP which caused RabbitMQ to die unexpectedly... I'm thinking that
would be enough to replicate... right?  In any event, I'm working on
this and it will probably take 1-2 hours to complete.

Yeah, that makes sense.  Okay, I'll try to get the example message I'm using...
