dicer does not handle failures appropriately #40

Open noblem opened 7 years ago

noblem commented 7 years ago

When a file fails to dice, an exception should be thrown & caught from lower in the code [rather than the top-level execute() loop)] .. probably within gdc_dice::dice() method ... bracketed around the dice_one loops

At present, this problem manifests as the undesirable result that if ANY data type fails to dice then NO FURTHER dicing is attempted
