I tried a lab yesterday where I sent roughly 1.5 billion messages (based on
what I saw in the debug logs). Unfortunately, no abort happened. However, my
traffic patterns was continous traffic of the same message.

So I am now going to create some new tooling that permits me to mimic your
traffic pattern much better. That will probably require until early next
week. To make this really work, it would be really useful if you could send
me some complete messages from your environment. I suggest to forward them
via private mail. I hope this is possible.

Also, it would be good if you could --enable-rtinst --enable-debug and try
out that version on your machine. I am a bit concerned about the speed of the
resulting executable, it may be too slow. You do not need to run it in debug
mode itself. These option (especially--enable-debug) will activate in-depth
runtime checks (assert, will abort when something wrong happens) and my hope
is that they will catch the bug closer to the root cause. If so, I would need
the gdb abort info (actually enabling debug output would be an option some
time later).

Please let me know what would be OK with you.

Thanks,
Rainer
