The invalid message problem should be fixed in 5.2.0, this was merged in to
all v5 versions from the v4 fix. But I won't touch any queue problems, and I
am sure there exist some during shutdown.

Looking forward to the results. I intend to promote that version to beta soon
and try to push it through a very short beta cycle. I do not plan any more
enhancements within the short-term timeframe. I looks like the advanced
features begin to get used and so finally bug reports come in, so it is bug
fixing and instrumentation time :)
