Why do you call that label "_end"? AFAIK names starting with
underscores are reserved for use by the compiler, the standard
library, etc. Never start your identifiers and such with underscores.
A name like _end in particular could mean something special to the
compiler or linker and screw things up that way. Why not call it
bailout or something?

And what are the queries you issue? Do you "begin" a transaction?
Are there any errors before the one you're looking at?
