[rabbitmq-discuss] Queues no longer expire in RabbitMq 3.1.0

Fri May 10 10:55:00 BST 2013

The precise conditions for causing this bug are slightly fiddly to 
explain (it's timing-dependent); but we believe it fixed in last night's 
nightly build - you might want to give that a try:

Cheers, Simon
