YAMOF: Yet another misfeature of FASTBACK. If you get a read error
while restoring you can't have that error ignored. There are some
files I don't mind to have some garbage in them (e.g. sources to
programs I wrote myself. I keep separate backups of them.)

Help me! Tell me that I'm missing something!
