We started using durable subscribers a week ago, and after the 4th durable subscriber unsubscribed (due to 1 hour inactivity), the system deadlocked. If the "Durable Subscriber Cleanup Timer" goes of at the wrong time, your entire server locks up.
Setup: Active MQ 5.7.0 with master/slave using JDBC store Approx 3 - 5 concurrent durable subscribers Approx 5 messages / sec Active MQ checks every 1 minute for subscribers which have been offline for 1 hour.
