That should be fine. There are certainly plenty of rabbit users on 
karmic that haven't run into difficulties.

That means the problem isn't with rabbit code, but some general erlang 
networking issue. As I mentioned earlier, we haven't seen this before 
ourselves.

I've done some googling and found this:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=498068

Any use?

If not, would you mind posting the above observations to the 
erlang-questions mailing list? Or perhaps ask on #erlang.
