I suggested looping through Transactions[] and calling Close on each
one. However, this probably isn't going to work because, in order to
perform the enclosed rollbacks on the transactions, the GDS client has to
have a connection to the database.

See above.

Sorry, I've run out of client-side ideas and I don't have an ASTA setup to
test on. If ASTA is somehow controlling the states of the connection
handles it's presumably beyond the reach of the client.
