We did find this in the logs. activemq.log:2010-09-08 10:55:02,555 | INFO | Usage Manager Memory Limit is full. Producer (ID:isp01-55443-1283902621643-0:0:1:1) stopped to prevent flooding queue://mpqueue. See http://activemq.apache.org/producer-flow-control.html for more info (blocking for: 1s) | org.apache.activemq.broker.re gion.Queue | ActiveMQ Transport: tcp:///10.13.85.14:52682
We have since increased the memory limit and we'll see if this happens again. If so I'll get a full thread dump.
