<side note>maybe adding a similar hook to Unicorn for library/app authors
to use would be a good idea.</side note>

Registering a standard at_exit {} block in the Unicorn
after_fork hook would be a good idea than trapping INT
and TERM, which Unicorn uses.

Is preload_app true?  Then you're probably trying to share sockets
across processes and confusing EM or AMQP.

Instead of using before_fork above, you should probably
be using after_fork:

  before_fork do |server,worker|
    Qusion.start(:user => 'guest',:pass => 'mypass')
    MQ.new.queue('jobs').publish('hey!')
  end

I'm not very familiar with AMQP, but the Unicorn process is strictly an
AMQP sender/client and doesn't listen as a server on a port, right?
If so, the above before_fork config *should* work for you.

Let us know how it goes!
