[rabbitmq-discuss] 2.7.1 mirrored queues leak a lot of memory on slave nodes

[DawgTool]

Which version of Erlang are you running?
I had the same issue with R13/R14, but after upgrading to R15B, no issues.
Not sure if its related or if I just got lucky, but might be worth a shot.

ps> I also recall making some config changes, but don't recall at the 
moment. I'll look at those later today.
