Yep, it sure does.

As I've been thinking about this, in theory unless all the physical
connections are consumed servicing an XID and have been suspended by the
TM, at some indeterminate point in time, at least -one- of them will
have an end() invoked, and become available for use to service the
XAResource invocation.
Only if all the connections created by the datasource are in a suspended
TX would there be a potential for a 'deadlock' needing an extra control
connection -- and even then, that would be an extreme corner-case -- one
that I'd like would recover at some point with a TM-driven TX timeout,
or the TM deciding to resume a suspended TX.
I know this would play out in a case where there's a lot of REQUIRES_NEW
branching going on, but I haven't quite nailed down (mentally) a case
where this could occur without the TM exhausting a pool (if it's even
using one).
