The code that is failing has changed in more recent versions of rabbit, 
avoiding a floating point arithmetic rounding issue that could possibly 
trigger the above error. Please upgrade.

Also, please make sure you are using the latest Erlang version, since 
hipe compilation is an active area of development (and bug fixing).
