Crash when processing certain libretro dats

[juliadin]

Paste the command

igir report --dat dat/libretro-database/dat/Sony\ -\ PlayStation\ 3.dat --input sources/

Describe the bug

When using igir (tried with some 1.9, 2.0.6, 2.0.7) to process some files in the libretro-database repository, it crashes with an unhelpful error:

This is being caused by https://github.com/RobLoach/datfile/issues/2. I can add a workaround so the parsing doesn't crash like this, but the CMPro DAT parser may need a rewrite.

[juliadin]

Thanks for the swift explanation. A workaround would be nice since I needed to do 'nop' runs of igir just to fidn the files that failed. Throwing an error that states the file name if dat parsing fails would be wonderful.
