the `zapwallettxes.py` qa test is currently broken due to a syntax error:

```python
     assert_raises(JSONRPCException, self.nodes[0].gettransaction, [txid3])
     #there must be a expection because the unconfirmed wallettx0 must be gone by now
```

This doesn't actually test that the transaction is not in the wallet, because `gettransaction()` is being called incorrectly (with an array instead of a string).

Changing the test to `assert_raises(JSONRPCException, self.nodes[0].gettransaction, txid3)` causes the rpc to succeed and the test script to fail because `txid3` is still in the wallet.

This is because the mempool is now persistent and is saved to disk when bitcoind shuts down. zapwallettxes removes the unconfirmed transaction from the wallet but bitcoind will rescan the mempool.dat file on startup and add the unconfirmed transaction back into the wallet.

I've 'fixed' zapwallettxes.py in https://github.com/jnewbery/bitcoin/tree/zapwallettxes , but the question remains: how *should* -zapwallettxes interact with persistent mempool? The use case for zapwallettxes is explained here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/3659#issuecomment-34878999 . My view is that even with zapwallettxes, bitcoind should rescan the mempool, but there should be better documentation or a warning that unconfirmed transaction in your mempool will be re-added to the wallet even if zapwallettxes is used. If you really want to remove all unconfirmed transactions from your wallet, you can delete your mempool.dat file and then restart with zapwallettxes.
