Squat Failure Behavior Improvement?

Im running cyrus 2.2.10, and when i run squat -r -s, squat fails on
certain messages or users because there is one corrupt message in the
user's mailbox. This isnt a huge issue in itself because i can
obviously remove the corrupt file or run reconstruct and then restart
squat. The bigger issue, is that on a system with 1000s of users, if i
plan to run squat as an automatic event in the future, i now have to
worry that one corrupt message in even a single message will stop
squatter in its tracks and i wont know it unless i'm constantly
watching the logs for it.
Is there a reason squat is not designed to simply continue indexing
after a message or user fails to be indexed? This seems like a pretty
big problem for anyone running a large system where occasional file
corruption is inevitable. Is there something i can do to fix this
problem?
Thanks,
Lee
