When using replace.py without the -always parameter, I've found a serious problem: If I accidentally interrupt the operation,* I get a message like the following, "Waiting for xx pages to be put. Estimated time remaining: xxxxx" - however, it fails to make the changes, even when I leave it a long time.

If I've made a lot of changes, this is a very big problem. The full output is shown below.

*I wanted to copy a page name to edit manually, and reflexively used ctrl+C to copy, but of course this is a KeyboardInterrupt. It's very ingrained habit, and realistically I'm likely to make the same mistake in future.

Where men are the most sure and arrogant, they are commonly the most mistaken, and have there given reins to passion, without that proper deliberation and suspense, which can alone secure them from the grossest absurdities. -- David Hume
