It also appears that when a record fails, the error file created contains
the regular expression as the separator, not the expression matched. For
example, if the record "a||b" is separated as above, and fails to transfer
for some reason, the error file includes the record "a\|\|b", which couldn't
be run back through the same program to reload.
So until that bug is fixed, beware!
