I have a different view to Dan on this.  In my view if your hardware is
not working in any way at all scream like mad don't carry on... Dan
is keen to try to muddle onwards.

That's probably the minimum we should do.  The xa_insert() failing is something
horrible going wrong in our software / host afterall.

Good.

Ah ok, I'd missed that.
