I think this is a duplicate of the problem reported at 
http://rabbitmq.1065348.n5.nabble.com/Rabbit-3-1-1-crash-question-td27540.html, 
the fix for which will appear in the next bugfix release.

However, we were quite that the bug was only introduced in 3.1.0, so 
it's surprising to see this in 3.0.2. The code has certainly changed a 
lot on that area, so I'd advise upgrading in any case.

Matthias.
