Alex,

Thanks for the response. I did indeed have a solution similar to Run2(),
but was finding channels were leaking, in that the third party
monitoring process wasn't shutting the channels down when the consumer
exited.

Linking the two was my quick solution to the problem but I guess not
feasible at the moment. I'll re-work my monitoring code and see if I
can't sniff out the leak.

Thanks again,

James
