I drop them explicitly at the end of the function.

Not intentionally/explicitly. The only time it should roll back is if it
gets an error (which tends to be this error). I do sometimes hit ^C on
the perl scripts to tweak something, which would roll it back if in this
particular code, but I don't think i did that on the last run at least.
