Re: Very Dangerous bug in XA connection pooling and SL EJBs with jboss-4.2.3 & latest postgresql-8.4-701.jdbc3.jar

I don't think these patches were ever committed. At least the smaller
one of them should be, this is a pretty scary bug because of the
interaction with JBoss. And the bigger patch adds sanity checks that
would be nice to have, maybe not for back-branches but for HEAD.
