I don't suppose you have any record of what type of process it was /Our local Erlang expert is on vacation, but he rescued our cluster.

what the messages looked like?

Details that might matter in reproduction: Our troubled mirrored
queue used mode "nodes" (not "all"), picking two nodes out of a
cluster of four. When I created it, I used a modified rabbitmqadmin
that connected to one of the two nodes, and specified that it and one
other node should mirror the queue. All messages were written with
delivery-mode 2. Messages are about 46K each. While some of the
messages were consumed, most were purged. Queue deletion did not cure
the leak.
