As discussed off the list, since the kernel keeps a refcount for programs,
a program won't be removed while printing the list, not as long as we hold
an fd to it.  Unless there's another common case of failure, I'm going to
keep the current behavior in the v2 and break out of the loop on errors
(though, with the appropriate JSON array closing).
