The finally block does not get executed if you stop the JVM.

The endless loop in Recv.main() can only end in two ways: exception or  
JVM shutdown. I don't see a way how to perform a clean shutdown of the  
receiver.

If the user stops the receiver by killing the Java process, the  
connection will stay open on the broker and will have to time out. In  
my opinion that's a reasource leak, which should not appear in a  
tutorial.
