I would think this is a stronger case for using the PG "1" functions. If 
you cant be sure what resource chain is on top, it is better to set it 
and then return it to the way it was (which is what these functions do). 
The problem in this case i think is that there will be open forks in the 
chain with resources of the same number - hence the need to be sure you 
are hitting the right one.
