[rabbitmq-discuss] Queue has inaccessible messages?

[Michael Burns]

Are you sure the connection on the broker is being closed after you kill
your consumers? I have a similar problem and sometimes have to manually
close the connection on the broker in order to get messages delivered to the
consumer.
