Yeah, ubiformat should not panic as well. I think it should ask the user
whether to:
a) continue
b) stop
c) mark the eraseblock as bad and continue

Well, if the -f option is given, it should just continue.

I'll add this to my TODO list and will do later. But you may
easily implement this yorself and send a patch if you do not
want to wait.
