Is there some reason why the transaction cannot be built up during a
single iteration over targets, thereby also avoiding the need for the
sha1[20*i] stuff?  This seems like exactly the kind of situation where
transactions should *save* code.  But perhaps I've overlooked a
dependency between the two loops.
