We since then discovered the most likely source of the problem you 
encountered, namely that the fd limiting is ineffective during queue 
recovery. We are working on a fix for that.

Note that the bug is specific to the bug21673 branch and will only get 
triggered if a) rabbit wasn't shut down cleanly, and b) there are lots 
of durable queues and/or these queues have quite a lot of messages.

Matthias.
