Thank you.

It happens when the server is closing a connection.  The error seems to
mean that we're trying to shutdown the same process twice, and we're not
sure exactly how that can happen.

Channel_sup_sup is the process that supervises all the channels in a
connection.  Its supervisor is complaining that we tried to shut it down
twice.

Not that we know of, no.  The error happens when closing a connection
and doesn't affect other connections.

Cheers,
Alex
