[{running_applications,[{rabbit,&quot;RabbitMQ&quot;,&quot;1.6.0&quot;},
                        {mnesia,&quot;MNESIA  CXC 138 12&quot;,&quot;4.3.5&quot;},
                        {os_mon,&quot;CPO  CXC 138 46&quot;,&quot;2.1.2.1&quot;},

 {nodes,[rabbit@neutrino]},
 {running_nodes,[rabbit@neutrino]}]


I&#39;m using the Java client.  I have an app that basically takes the Twitter firehose, throws every link it gets into an exchange, and that exchange throws the links to different bins depending on what the links are and who they&#39;re from.  So the routing keys are typically [twitter_user_id].[link] (e.g. 1022101.<a href="http://google.com">http://google.com</a>). 

Everything has been running wonderfully, but I recently noticed that rabbitMQ has been throwing frame errors every now and then.  I have a sneaking suspicion that this is related to unicode characters in certain tweets (usually foreign language tweets). Would the fact that it&#39;s trying to run a binding check on an extremely long key be the cause for these errors?  If not, what else might be the issue?  Here&#39;s the error report for one of the crashes:
