The following ridiculous changes to our DB Resource allow us to actually
do something for a short while - note that we used 10-20 time the times
we used normally

... validationInterval="300000"
timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis="300000"
minEvictableIdleTimeMillis="600000"
removeAbandonedTimeout="600"

I don't know if that helps define what is going on, but I guess
somewhere somehow we are timing out connections.
