ok. One thing worth trying is disabling heartbeats. I don't know whether 
that is possible in the RabbitMQ WCF bindings, but if it isn't then 
simply change the code in ConnectionParameters.cs, setting the 
DefaultHeartbeat to 0. You can check whether that worked by looking at 
the socket trace (or wireshark) for activity after the "Host Dis" button 
click - with heartbeats there will be some traffic every few seconds, 
without there will just be some traffic initially and then silence.

With heartbeats disabled Vlad and I were no longer able to reproduce the 
"message body too long" error.

Matthias.
