Chris:

Child processes of fork(2) need to reopen all network connections
(not just to RabbitMQ).

So you need to pre-fork N workers and pass messages to them using
pipes or similar, or have each have a separate consumer. In the case of
pipes, coordinating acknowledgements may be pretty tricky, so using
one consumer per pre-forked worker is a much easier way.
