Yeah, the problem is that either statement_timeout or lock_timeout
could cause control to be taken away from code that thinks it's
straight-line code and so doesn't have provision for getting cleaned
up at transaction abort. Spinlocks certainly fall in that category.
I'm afraid other weird failures are possible, though I'm not sure
what.
