Thanks for the updated patch set.

You probably forgot to move that to the patch for temporary variables.
I did that.

I have moved the reference to the transaction end to the temporary variable
patch.

I have gone over the comments in patch 0005 and 0006.
I hope I got everything right.  Attached is an updated patch set.
