The problem has been diagnosed: the connection to Rabbit from germanium was firewalled.

When writing an oops, it defers to a thread to talk to Rabbit. Because we write oopses to Rabbit, it was blocking the thread on a TCP timeout and then when the thread pool was full it got fairly catastrophic.

The fix needs to be in the twisted_oops code to use txamqp instead of threads and use a much shorter timeout.
