No, I meant does the connection show as having status "blocked" in 
rabbitmqctl / management. If the memory or disk alarm has gone off then 
connections do not read from their sockets, and then it is impossible 
for them to detect that the underlying TCP connection has gone away 
(until the memory alarm clears anyway).

Cheers, Simon
