I've found out that for some queues the values of "messages" and
"messages_ready" become grow up in time.
Here is the selective output:

# rabbitmqctl list_queues name messages messages_ready
messages_unacknowledged
allplayers-11334-1298702053625  137     137     0

Trying this command every 10-20 seconds:

allplayers-11334-1298702053625  148     148     0
allplayers-11334-1298702053625  177     177     0
allplayers-11334-1298702053625  246     246     0


Listing consumers for that queue:
# rabbitmqctl list_consumers
allplayers-11334-1298702053625  <rabbit at chessvegas.3.30209.103>
allplayers-11334-1298702053625  false

Hmmm... the consumer is not died.
