You guys should probably take this to the pgsql-jdbc list, since that's
where the people who know the innards of the JDBC driver hang out.
I just saw a patch go by on that list that purports to
* Keeps track of the current transaction state.
* Prevents starting a new transaction until actually required.
so that may address your concern. I'm not enough of a JDBC hacker
to be sure though.
