I'm getting some errors in using the registro.br WHOIS DB dumps when they have WHOIS errors.
Sometimes in the ftp://ftp.registro.br/pub/numeracao/origin/nicbr-asn-blk-latest.txt file, there will be some lines like:
This breaks arouteserver when parsing this dump and asserts that there are always at least three fields per row.
It would be ideal if arouteserver would gather whatever prefix/origin mappings it can from a source, even if there are errors in parsing some records. Some up-to-date information is better than no updated information.
Instead of failing the entire source for one error, this change just skips over those error-generating lines and doesn't add origination info for them from the dump.
