HA-JNDI java.rmi.UnmarshallException doesn't failover

      Use the attached byteman script.

      JAVA_OPTS=-javaagent:$BYTEMAN_HOME/lib/byteman.jar=script:/path/to/pauseHARMIServerImplinvoke.btm

      (This script just pauses at the right spot to make it easier to trigger the bug.
      Without the script, just restart one member of the cluster repeatedly while hitting HA-JNDI until the
      timing is just right to trigger it).

      From a standalone client configured with jndi.properties to hit HA-JNDI, run:

      InitialContext context = new InitialContext()
      context.lookup ( ... );

      Stop the server while it's paused.

      During intensive HA-JNDI failover testing (constantly running "new InitialContext().lookup(...)"
      while starting and stopping JBoss instances, sometimes an HA-JNDI lookup just before the server goes down is
      throwing an exception without trying to fail over to the other HA-JNDI instance:

      Root cause is that java.rmi.UnmarshallException is not caught as an exception eligible for failover.
