Hmmm, that will be a tricky one to track down. There's no reason to get
a core dump from within malloc() unless something else has previously
stomped outside of its own malloced area, smashing the free list.

So the problem is likely not within create_transaction(), but caused
sometime before, possibly in some completely unrelated code.

Is it repeatable, or just happens at random (or even just once)?

Cheers
