Memory leak coming from the JBoss EJBRemoteTransactionsRepository

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

We observe a memory leak coming from EJBRemoteTransactionsRepository.
When we looked at the heap memory over the period of the high GC we saw that the retained heap size is growing continuously without being cleared out. Min Heap memory is now not dropping below 3GB on the VM

VMs can be up for any number of days before the GC becomes elevated and the heap memory starts to be leaked. When this happens our VMs are configured to restart.
