It's never a good idea to routinely rely on error-recovery behavior.
Believe me, programmers lose sleep trying to anticipate every possible
failure path, but there are times when the state of the machine can't
be predicted. Rendering until your hard drive fills up is a little
like turning on the cruise control and waiting to hit something.
