If a InitialContext use the remote-naming approach and close the Context after use a RejectedExcecutionException is thrown at the client side.

It seems like that there is no further drawback, i.e. connection leaking, so the error might be ignored safely.

The stacktrace is from a test with EAP6.1.1 and ejb-client 1.0.23
