It would be nice to force the machine to stop at that point. The problem is
that by the time the error is triggered (currently), it's already in
cutting position, and stopping hard might do even more damage.

Ideally, I'd like to have the interpreter catch the error, so that we get
as much advance warning as possible.  Doing so is a bit tricky, because the
error condition happens fairly deep within canon. This means either
throwing an exception, or changing a few canon calls to return error codes.
