I disagree. The tasks in ConcurrentVersioningWithTransactionsTest time out one
year in the future. Actually an unreasonable value ;), should be rather in the
area of a couple of minutes, to make sure the test terminates at some point if
a deadlock occurs. RandomOperationTest indeed uses a lower timeout of 60
seconds. If that's a problem, we should rather increase that value to e.g. 5
minutes.
> However, the test code violates the "Don't mix concurrent transactional and

Hmm, I understand, but the above mentioned test works just fine in the 1.4
branch.
Przemo, does you application use XA transactions mixed with regular writes?
