You also said (off list) that you had 22k open file descriptors. 
Assuming that they are not all sockets and that you don't have thousands 
of queues that is quite strange.

If you cannot upgrade to 2.6.1, please send us the output of
'rabbitmqctl list_queues name durable arguments pid messages_ready 
messages_unacknowledged consumers memory backing_queue_status'.
