> There are several bugs related the broker handling expiration of messages on Durable topic subscriptions, both when the client expires and also the broker expires. The bugs are related specifically to durables in both the expiration thread and the pending message cursor and don't apply to Topic subs (topic subs don't keep references after dispatch and there's no store to ack).
> The following issues exist:
> # *Skipping client expired acks:* If a client expires a message and sends back an expiration ack, the broker marks the message reference as expired. This means if multiple durable subs try and expire the same message and are using the same reference (this can happen when using caching in PendingMessageCursor) the first one will ack and the rest of the messages never get acked in the store.  Furthermore, memory usage tracking is impacted as the counter isn't decremented.
> # *Memory tracking by the cursor:* AbstractStoreCursor does not decrement the usage counter on the message reference if removed using the cursor.remove(message) method. This causes the usage tracker to not decrement even after removal in some cases.
> # *Expiry thread:* The topic expiration thread has multiple problems. 
> #* The thread is inefficient. It uses the browse method and just loads messages into the browse map even if there are no offline durables and iterates over every subscription.
> #* The thread will just expire the message on any offline durable or any durable that is marked to expire if online without taking into account whether the durable has already acked the message. This can lead to lots of warnings in the logs for unmatched acks if acking multiple times (which could happen if there was another online sub preventing the entire removal of the message)
