That is unfortunate as they were working a while back. I've been meaning to
get these tests (or similar) running regularly in order to keep an eye on
the state of the .Net. Continous build + interop tests would be the thing to
do IMO. That particular goal is taking a back seat behind more immediate
priorities for internal clients at the moment.

Rupert,

Unfortunately the header exchange tests still fail when a broker is
started up. :( The tests appear to connect to the broker and set up the
exchange fine, but fail in actually sending the message through the
exchange to the consumer...

Cheers,
Jon
