Please check my test: https://github.com/ochaloup/jboss-as/blob/JBQA-5483-test-migration-passivation2/testsuite/integration/basic/src/test/java/org/jboss/as/test/integration/ejb/stateful/passivation/PassivationSucceedsUnitTestCase.java

Bean passivation has strange behavior after definition of max-size for file-passivation-store.
The test creates two SFSB.

In case that I set max-size = 1 the passivation was not provided despite it should be because of size of store.
In case that I set max-size = 2 (or 3) the test freezes. There is no exception but it ends with timeout and no action is provided (the debug log level says: "[com.arjuna.ats.arjuna] (Periodic Recovery) Periodic recovery second pass at Mon, 30 Jan 2012 17:11:29" and continues with messages in similar way)
