[openamq-dev] Threadsafe channels?

That is the intent of the design.  However, I'm not sure which
implementation your question is referring to.  I can't speak for the
QPid developers, but the current OpenAMQ release only supports one
channel (i.e. session in WireAPI) per connection.

That's correct, thanks for reporting it, I'll fix it in SVN and update
the website with the next release.
