Just to support Christer: I was initially in favor of the full rollbackapproach. But the discussion showed that it had the race condition thatChrister mentions. We considered introducing additional machinery toresolve that race, but that just complicated things further, especiallybackward compatibility, for an obscure case. So, I have come to understand that there is no ideal answer, and so amsatisfied with the one that was chosen. I realize that not everybody knows all the history of this, so weexplain it again, but we can't re-open the decision at this point.
