This was a nasty mine to step on. While updating the template file to
correctly update the links in the status file a variable wasn't properly
declared. One exception and the whole system spun out of control and died.
That's just silly. Missing to update a status file on one iteration
should not kill the build out right. I've added a fail safe so that if
this happens again, the other portions of the build that are working
just fine will continue to.
Thus two lessons:
1) Depend on test environment more
2) Add catch blocks to the code so that small failures do not bring
the system down.
