That sounds _pretty_ interessting! I had a look at the same task a while
ago but got stuck with memory management and non-local exits which seem
to happen quite often in the postgresql backend (from my little under-
standing -- mainly from looking at the embedded TCL interpreter -- i got
the impression that in case of a transaction rollback the backend uses
'(3) longjmp' to exit the transaction context and i wasn't shure how to 
deal with it in presence of continuations. Is your code public?
