This has been fixed on our default branch (i.e. the fix has been made
and it's been through our QA), but there is no release that fixes this
problem. I'm afraid the only way for you to get around this is to
compile Rabbit from source. Please see our compilation guide at:
http://www.rabbitmq.com/build-server.html

Needless to say, the fix will be included in our next stable release.
