I had considered this, but I'm not sure we really need to catch *every* write failure. Perhaps just catching if the '\n' at the end of a row fails to be written out would be sufficient? Then turning around and setting cancel_query might be enough.. I'll write that up and test if it works. Thanks, Stephen
