Using Wireshark or RabbitMQ tracer [1].

This issue indicates a race condition when a library assumes it need to
automatically open a channel after channel.open
has been sent. Or it may be because channel ids are not incremented
properly in the client so two channels end up
having the same id.

Finally, race conditions can originate in your own code but it's impossible
to tell without
seeing the code.
