This seems like fairly stupid programming within DBD::Pg --- there's no
reason for it to be issuing an explicit rollback command at disconnect,
as the backend will certainly do that itself on seeing the connection
drop. Possibly you could get the DBD::Pg developers to change that,
so that a disconnect would be more robust in the face of network failure
(and a tad faster too).
