Physical connections to the server are shared across javax.jms.Connection
and javax.naming.Context instances, and are only closed when the last
reference to them is removed. In other words, the physical connection
won't disappear until the garbage collector:
. has decided that nothing is referencing it; and
. run finalizers

If you call System.gc() this should clean up any physical connections,
providing you have closed Connection and Context instances.
Alternatively, just call System.exit().
