There is currently no integrity checking, the data import program should
handle data errors. It would be useful to send this particular error to
an error log rather than the output file.

The idea should be for the Downloader to reject duplicate or other badly
formed records prior to import. If you need to use the data elsewhere you
may have to write your own integrity checking routines.

Looks like it could be one or more bad dates. I would like to see
the output.
