It would be easy to change nonstopmode to errorstopmode where it
occurs but harder to understand why this should happen and when it
should happen. Should it be changed unconditionally or should there
be an option for this? If there is an option what should the option be
called? Does this affect reading auxiliary files which may not exist?
