I think our pooling implementation blocks when it runs out of
connections, though I'm not sure if he's using ours or not. We could
change that relatively easily to offer the option of throwing a
SQLException instead of blocking, if that would be valuable. But of
course we can't fix it to allow his code to use more connections than
there actually are present in the pool.
