Error: Unmatched field {"name":"consumerTag","domain":"shortstr"}

[dolftax]

The consumerTag generation [1] looks good to me. Is it an extremely rare case where Math.random() is generating values > 256 characters which violates shortstr?

Also, post occurrence of this event, the app is not handling any more requests. Should this [2] be caught?

[2] https://github.com/postwait/node-amqp/blob/master/lib/serializer.js#L297

I can send a PR if ☝️ is the expected behavior.

@postwait ☝️ We are using this package in production. Confirm the behavior and I can send a pull request.

I am seeing this error as well...

This is node.js version 9.11.1, npm version 5.6.0 and amqp version 0.2.6. Please let me know what additional information you need, if any.

In the meantime, should we downgrade to a lower version of amqp? If so, which one?
