commit inside a cursor oper

Hi

What kind of problems can arise if a code segment is doing a commit inside a cursor op. ie.

OPEN CURSOR c1;

for(;;)
{
  FETCH c1;

  some update;
  commit;

}

CLOSE c1;

I know this should not be done; but what problems can arise in such a case? eg. locks lost etc.
