[rabbitmq-discuss] Wrong behaviour with large memory amounts in Windows

[Germán Latorre]

Hello Mathew,

It's true that our Erlang version is not the last one... It's R12B.  
We'll try with its latest stable release.

And yes, I think we'll run it under Linux in our live environment.  
We'll try with new persister branch too.

Thank you very much for your help.

Regards,

Germán Latorre.
