If a file descriptor is stale it just exits the entire application

		fa2json/fs-watcher.c
		Lines 19 to 27 in 96f8ff2e98
	
					if (parent_fd == -1) {

						if (errno == ESTALE) {

							fprintf(stderr, "File handle is no longer valid. File has been deleted\n");

							return 0;

						} else {

							perror("open_by_handle_at");

							exit(EXIT_FAILURE);

						}

					}

The proper behavior is to either skip the entry or make it a partial entry.
