Problem running tests

I've not been able to run the tests that come with txamqp so far, I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong.

I have python 2.6.2, twisted 8.2.0, txamqp head (rev. 15 atm), and an out-of-the-box rabbitmq-server installed.

At first I used "trial txamqp/test" while standing in src/, and the tests would just hang during the call to client.authenticate in TestBase.connect(). They'd timeout after two minutes with not much of a traceback.

Changing TestBase's vhost from 'localhost' to '/' (line 41 of testlib.py), or configuring a 'localhost' vhost and assigning user 'guest' to it, makes the hangs go away. It now instead gives many errors, similar to the following one:

(This is what it outputs when running "trial txamqp/text/test_example.py" from within src/)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Most tests fail with this error (501, 'FRAME_ERROR - cannot decode <<0,0,10,116,..... followed by an unclean reactor), though a couple don't fail, and BasicTests.test_get still hangs like before.

Any ideas about what could be causing this, and how to fix it?
