Summary: telnet-ing directly to tcp connector/jndi yields OutOfMemory

Initial Comment:
If you start the OpenJMS server with the 
tcp_jms_full.xml configuration and telnet to either the 
port 3030 (the tcp connector) or port 3035 (the jndi 
connector) and hit return several times, you will see an 
OutOfMemoryError in the output from the server.

Obviously the server is not expecting people to telnet to 
it, but in "the wild" this will happen all the time, so this 
is a denial-of-service problem.

I'm a bit reluctant to spend any time fixing this as the tcp 
connector is going to be replaced in the near future.

In any case, it won't fix all DOS issues - a client could 
hammer the server with new connections and cause the same 
problem.

The tcps connector should be able to avoid the problem you 
describe.
