Fortunately Chris Zumbrunn already xlated that (thanx Chris).

Which is logical, because the ozone server has no way of knowing which
transaction a newly started thread should be bound to; every thread
needs its own transaction

:-/ I don't know. You are certainly doing stuff that is out of the

from within the server, but I don't know the consequences of that. Maybe
one of the more veteran developers can provide more inside on this.
