Research direction
Reproduce the issue by running `sloc whatever-directory` against a symbolic link to a nonexistent path and check the reported error and exit code. Trace how the CLI handles the failed `stat` operation; done means the command no longer aborts unexpectedly and returns an appropriate result for the broken link.
