[rabbitmq-discuss] rabbitmqctl often hangs at the end of a query, e.g., list_queues, for a good 60 seconds or more (Windows 7)

[John Apps]

Matthias,
  I tried this out on another Windows 7 X64 machine I have and was unable to
reproduce the behaviour there. Rather than have this entry hang around,
please disregard for now.
When I have time I will pursue the matter and let you know what the cause
was.

Thank you for the support, John
