To be honest, I have a similar problem here. I just worked around it by
incrementing max_connections when I hit the server limit. I ended up
investing my time in other, more fruitful ventures.

It's a long story, but it's probably because it's been unpersisted, and
it may work if it only holds references to basic types. If it holds
references to persistent objects that haven't been unpersisted, it will
explode when trying to access their state.

Take care,
