Well dammit, I should have looked more closely before certifying this was my production leak.

I’m pretty sure that we’re _also_ leaking memory in this case somehow, but the symptom of the initial issue I was seeing was massive ‘binary’ memory use, but no (or very few) queued messages.

I’ll continue to dig into this further, thanks for all the help :)
