It’s generally a very bad idea to create and destroy maps for every transaction.  If the map
results in being non-NULL, then you’re allocating and freeing memory on every transaction,
and possibly allocating and freeing large chunks of memory for bounce buffers.  Is there
a reason why you’ve made this change?
