12   If the <code class="function">journal_extend</code> call above fails to grant new buffer credits
13   to a running handle, a call to journal_restart will commit the
14   handle's transaction so far and reattach the handle to a new
15   transaction capabable of guaranteeing the requested number of
16   credits.
