EJB3 - ThreadlocalPool.discard() memory leak when exception thrown from bean method in JBoss EAP?

Issue

• We have found a serious problem with JBoss EAP 5.0.1 and EJB3 which seems covered in the JIRA JBPAPP-6624. On each call the EJB container leaks a bit of memory (from the discard method) and after a number of calls the memory has run out and the server needs to be restarted.
